This is Dr. Seuss Week at McCord Elementary as they celebrate the birthday of the author of many wonderful children's books. Tuesday was "Green Eggs and Ham Day" and some of our teachers shared photos of their students wearing green. In Mrs. Weddle's kindergarten class the students ate 'green eggs' which in reality was pudding tinted green with a vanilla wafer in the middle serving as the yolk of the egg. The daily celebrations for the rest of the week include: "Wacky Wednesday Day" when students can wear clothes backwards, inside out, or mismatched; Thursday is "Oh, The Places We Will Go! Day" with students dressing their best because it is also Picture Day; and Friday is "The Sleepy Book Day" when students can wear their favorite pajamas.
This week is School Social Work Week. Our VISD Social Worker Nicole Cameron is always there for our students and their families providing help and information on services available in our area. Nicole, thank you for all you do for our students, their families and Vernon ISD.
📸 Picture Day– Thursday, March 5th! 📸
Thursday, March 5th is PICTURE DAY for our students as well as our teachers and staff.
The teachers and staff will be taking our annual group photo at 7:15 a.m.
Because of this, staff members will not be at their usual morning posts for drop-off, and we will begin allowing students into the building at 7:20 a.m. instead of our normal time.
We kindly ask for your grace and patience that morning as we quickly capture this special moment together as a school family. 💛
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Students in Mrs. Price's first grade class had fun building gingerbread houses to complement the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" that the class read together. The students did an amazing job and had so much fun bringing the story to life with their creative designs.
