Our VES students are studying a character trait each month, and the character trait for September has been empathy. Our teachers chose one student from each grade who has been doing the best job exhibiting empathy. Those students are: River Gilchrist, 2nd grade; Luke Englishbee, 3rd grade; Elijah Clark, 4th grade; and JW Rodriguez, 5th grade. We are super proud of these students. Great job!!
A quick reminder that tomorrow is an early-release Friday for Vernon ISD students.
Join us for the 2nd Annual LIONS ROAR Tailgate on October 25th—a fantastic celebration just like last year's homecoming event! We invite Vernon ISD school clubs, VISD-endorsed organizations, local businesses, churches, and community groups to participate. Only Vernon ISD entities can sell items, and Vernon ISD will not be providing prizes for booths.
This year, we’ll set up in the horseshoe drive in front of Vernon Elementary School for safety and celebration of our campus. Participants must supply their own materials and manage cleanup. The event kicks off at 4:30 PM, and booths can close as needed for the 7 PM game kickoff.
If your group wants to participate, please complete this Google form by end of the day, October 4th.
We can’t wait for a fantastic tailgate celebration! Questions? Contact Kori Eakin at kori.eakin@visdtx.org.

Third grade students just finished a story entitled "Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match." It is a story about a girl who dresses mismatched and tells how that embodies her uniqueness and her marvelous self. It shows students it is OK to be different and to "just be you." Students in Mrs. Jansas's class found many connections to the story and wanted to dress mismatch to tell themselves that they are each unique in their own way.
