Last Thursday, students in Ms. Tori Hine's fifth grade class hunted eggs that contained Science STAAR questions. They worked to answer the questions and received candy for their correct responses.
Last week, Vernon High School Gifted & Talented students, along with students in Coach Nathanael Stinson's honors Geography class traveled to Canyon for a tour of West Texas A&M University and a visit to the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum. The students were given an in-depth look at life as a typical college student and learned of the opportunities available to WT students. They also enjoyed touring the largest museum in Texas and in discovering what early life on the Plains looked like.

Yesterday with plenty of laughs and giggles, students in Ms. Rose Rivera's art classes wrapped up their confetti egg projects by breaking them on each other. The project helped the students with their colors and other art elements. The top of the eggshell was broken to get the egg out, and students then colored their egg, made confetti to put it in, filled the egg and glued a piece a paper to the top of the egg.
