Friday's dress-up theme was "Construction Day" to coincide with the pep rally theme "Wreck the Bulldogs." We had plenty of construction workers roaming our halls and showing plenty of spirit!

Last week, second grade completed Unit One of their RLA curriculum: "Fairy Tales and Tall Tales." In one of the tall tales, "Paul Bunyan," it told the story of Sourdough Sam cooking giant flapjacks in the world's biggest frying pan for Paul Bunyan. On Friday, Mrs. Robyn Hamm's class cooked miniature pancakes and discussed the antonyms of giant, colossal, enormous, big being small, miniature, tiny, and small.

There has been a change to the VISD 2025-26 school calendar. Due to a scheduling conflict for the Prosper football stadium, the Lions' football game scheduled for Friday, Sept. 19, in Prosper has been moved to Thursday, Sept. 18. The district had an early release scheduled for that Friday and it has now been moved to Thursday, to coincide with the game change. Friday, Sept. 19, will now be a regular, full school day.

All VISD students, teachers and staff are enjoying this Monday Labor Day holiday, but we will be back in school tomorrow and we will be in a new month, as today is September 1. A new month means a new school cafeteria menu! Check out the September cafeteria menu below.

Our 7th Grade Band students have hit the ground running and have begun rehearsing songs for our fall semester performances, as well as music they will perform alongside the high school band later in the football season! We are proud of their hard work and can't wait to see them shine this school year!

It is Construction Day in the district as it falls inline with the theme for the football pep rally, "Wreck the Bulldogs." Students and staff are decked out in their best construction gear.

Earlier this week World History students stepped outside to play the oldest game known to mankind. This game is believed to have been around for 20,000 years or more. Paleontologists named it "Chunk-ay". Bowling, marbles and soccer are games that have get their roots from this game. Scientists were able to gather knowledge about this game thru contextual data.

Yesterday students in Mrs. Wendy Birbeck's CNA classes learned how to do CPR on both adults and babies. John Perez, a paramedic with the Vernon Fire Department, was the instructor for the training.
