There was an abundance of red roaming around McCord Wednesday, as the Red Ribbon Week theme for yesterday was "Wear Red For Red Ribbon Week -- Are You Red-y To Be Drug-Free?" This week is designated as Red Ribbon Week, as schools ban together across the nation to fight the war on drugs.





Here are a few more pictures from Tuesday when the Red Ribbon Week theme was "Students Become Teachers. Teachers Become Students -- Swap Out Drugs For A Better Life."

Some of our students nailed the look of a teacher today as they took part in today's theme for Red Ribbon Week -- "Students Become Teachers, Teachers Become Students -- Swap Out Drugs For A Better Life." Dressing as Coach Christopher seemed to be a popular choice, but a few of the boys absolutely nailed the look of paraprofessional Nathan Smith!










Our students and staff had fun with yesterday's Red Ribbon Week theme of "Pajama Day -- Follow Your Dreams, Don't Do Drugs."

Due to weather concerns for Friday night's Vernon-Bowie football game, the schools have agreed to move the game to Thursday. Kickoff is still set for 7 p.m., at Jackrabbit Stadium. However, due to that move, adjustments had to be made to other junior high and high school sports schedules. Please check the information below. The high school volleyball games had to remain on Friday, due to UIL's rule of one game per week. Athletic events that are played after school hours on Friday are considered to be on the weekend.


Vernon ISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward, Vernon High School Coach Brock Payne, and Lion Tyce Payne represented VISD in the Vernon Chamber of Commerce All-School's Bacon Eating Contest. The contest featured teams consisting of a superintendent, coach and athlete from the three school districts in Wilbarger County vying for the bacon eating title. Harrold won the event.
