Receiving MVP balls for the Boyd game were Co-Defensive MVP Javi Lopez & Tyce Payne; Offensive MVP Carson Schoppa; and Special Team MVP Donnie Montano.
Today's Red Ribbon Week theme at VHS was "Your Future Is Bright, Don't Do Drugs" and to look into the future, students wore clothes relating to the career they hope to follow as adults.
Today's Red Ribbon Week theme at McCord was "Team Up Against Drugs" and students were encouraged to wear a t-shirt or jersey of their favorite team and/or player. There were plenty of Lions roaming the halls, along with some Cowboys, Rangers and a few Michael Jordans!
Our VES 5th grade students enjoyed the fall weather today and the sea of tumbleweeds that blew onto the playground due to the blustery conditions. Just in time for Halloween!!
Yesterday AG teacher Jakelyn Quisenberry took her VMS and VHS students on a field trip to watch the Southwest Cattledog Association Regional Trials that are being held at the Wilbarger County Covered Event Center. Local competitor Cody Bell spoke to some of the students about training and showing cattle dogs.
Our VES Student Council has been hard at work putting together 300 "Spooky Grams" that they sold as a fundraiser. The "Spooky Grams" will be delivered on Halloween!!
This week McCord is celebrating Red Ribbon Week and today's theme was "Put A Cap On Drugs," with students and teachers alike wearing their favorite cap/hat to school. There was even a sighting of a mini Deion Sanders!!
To celebrate the end of another six weeks, the VES, VMS, and VHS PTO groups delivered a sweet treat to every staff member on their campus, along with bottled water generously provided by Texas Credit. We appreciate our amazing parents for their ongoing support. Your efforts mean so much to our district and to each and every campus. THANK YOU!!!
Today's theme for Red Ribbon Awareness Week is "Don't Get Mixed Up In Drugs" and to go along with that theme, it is "Mix and Match Day" at VHS. Our students definitely enjoyed mixing and matching their outfits today!
Our Lady Lions hit the road today for their District 7-3A regular-season finale in Wichita Falls against the City View Lady Mustangs.

Good luck!!!
