Vernon ISD had the privilege of hosting the Vernon Leadership Class yesterday morning as part of their "Education Day." Class members heard from employees who work behind the scenes in the business office and other positions that people don't associate with a school district. The class traveled by school bus to Vernon Elementary School and toured the campus before heading to Vernon High School to take a look at the CTE facilities. Students in the VHS culinary program cooked lunch for the class. We hope the class enjoyed their time with us and learned a little something about school districts and Vernon ISD that they didn't know before.





Yesterday, Mrs. Woods' 3rd grade math class were charged with working out 2-step word problems. The students had fun working in groups to work out how they solved the problems, and when they explained how they solved the problems to each other.








It was standing room only this morning in the VES cafeteria as students were joined by their grandparents/grandfriends for breakfast. The crowd was so big our staff had to set up extra tables in the hall. And, that made our smiles and those of our students even bigger! Having this turning shows our students' families are interested and invested in their education. A thank you to all who joined us this morning. It was a great way to start the day!!
