It's the first school day of a new month and that means a new cafeteria menu is out!! Here's the November cafeteria menu for our VISD campuses. Please remember ALL of our students receive a free breakfast and lunch at all of our campuses.
Vernon ISD's phone system is currently down. We cannot receive calls or call out. Technicians are working on the issue and we hope to have service restored soon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Before you go to bed tonight be sure and move your clocks back an hour, as Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow. We're looking forward to earlier sunrises so there is more light when our students are catching buses and arriving at campuses. We look forward to seeing everyone Monday morning!!
Yesterday, students in Ms. Duncan's pre-kindergarten class all helped make a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern, and got to stick their hand inside the pumpkin.
We wrapped up National Red Ribbon Week yesterday with the theme "Say BOO to Drugs!", and it was costume day! We had plenty of superheroes, princesses, video game characters and more roaming our halls.
A big Thank You to the Vernon McDonald's for donating Boo Buckets to our McCord Life Skills class. Our students loved them!!
Today Angela Morrison, a VISD retired teacher, came to McCord Elementary to read Halloween stories to kindergarten and first grade students. She encouraged the students to go to Munchkins on Main tonight and stop by where the local retired teachers association will be set up handing out free books.
QUICK REMINDER!!
Vernon ISD students are out of school tomorrow (Friday) for a Professional Development Day for our teachers and staff. We hope our students enjoy their three-day weekend!!

Wednesday's theme for National Red Ribbon Week was "Team Up Against Drugs" with students and staff having the option to dress like a twin with a friend, or wear their favorite team gear. We definitely had some students showing their team spirit for their favorite team, and we also had a few who took "twinning" to a triplet or quadruplet look.

There's was plenty of pink everywhere at McCord last Friday, as our students and staff "pinked out" for both the Lions pep rally theme and for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Our McCord students enjoyed a visit from the Vernon Fire Department last Friday. Firemen showed the students their safety equipment, the equipment on the fire truck and also talked about fire safety, and what to do in case there is a fire.
