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.
This is the first week of National Red Ribbon Week. In case you missed our post last week, here are our dress-up day themes for the week. Please note students are out of school Friday for a teacher/staff professional development day.
Tomorrow the theme for the Lions Football Pep Rally is "Pink Out" and our VHS cheerleaders would like to invite those who are currently fighting breast cancer; breast cancer survivors; and those who have lost family members to breast cancer to be their special guests at the pep rally. There will be a designated section reserved for our special guests. The pep rally will begin tomorrow at 3:25 p.m.
Next week is National Red Ribbon Week and we have daily themes as we hope all of our students -- Make A Difference. Be A Hero. Stay Drug Free. Check out the daily themes below. A quick reminder that Friday, Oct. 30 is a teacher/staff work day for Vernon ISD with students out of school that day.
