This is School Librarian Appreciation Day and earlier today VHS Principal Cynthia Jackson presented VHS Librarian Gayla Dehoyos with a plant and a big thank you for all she does for Vernon High School.
From our youngest students to our oldest, those on the McCord and High School campuses enjoyed their time watching the solar eclipse this afternoon.
All eyes were turned to the sky -- with correct protective glasses of course -- this afternoon as students and adults watched the solar eclipse. Luckily, the clouds stayed away and was a perfect day to watch the moon cross in front of the sun.
VISD's Pre-K is the best in the district! Don't miss your opportunity to register your child for our wonderful program for the 2024-2025 school year! Registration will be held Wednesday.

On Friday students in Mrs. Courtney Jansa's class presented paraprofessional Mrs. Sheryl Rhodes with a card the class made for Paraprofessional Appreciation Day. Each student wrote their own heartfelt message in the card. When Mrs. Rhodes entered their classroom Friday, the students all yelled "Thank you Mrs. Rhodes!," got up and gave her a big hug. Mrs. Jansa said the class also gave Mrs. Rhodes a plant and told her "just like the plant can't survive without the sun, we can't survive without you!"
Last week the Kindergarten Gifted & Talented students researched facts about eclipses in order to help them prepare and understand the total solar eclipse that is happening today. After practicing her presentation with Mrs. Sara Reeder and Mrs. Ashley Bloom, Macy presented her project to the students in Mrs. Twaleena Weddle's class.

Yesterday, the VHS Seniors hosted a "Meet and Greet" Forum for Vernon mayor candidates Pam Goslin and Dustin Fraticelli. Each candidate spent 30 minutes with the seniors. Government/History teacher Brett White asked each candidate the same questions. The floor was then opened for students to ask questions. This was a great opportunity for our seniors, 79 of which are are eligible to vote, to learn more about the views of each candidate as well as the process of running for an elected office. We appreciate Pam and Dustin for taking the time to give back to our students.
