The eggs didn't have a chance Thursday afternoon as our first grade students made a mad dash and a clean sweep of the playground during their annual Easter egg hunt.
Our pre-kindergarten students had a lot of fun at their Easter egg hunt Thursday morning. Look at all the smiles!
Today was Peeps Day for the kindergarten students in Ms. Madison Smith's class. Students built a peep house from jelly beans and toothpicks, and took care of their peep all day in their homemade nests.

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.
VISD's Pre-K is the best in the district! Don't miss your opportunity to register your child for our wonderful program for the 2024-2025 school year!

Four Vernon ISD school campuses -- McCord, Central, Vernon Elementary and Middle School -- are designated as public storm shelters. The storm shelters are opened when we receive word from the county. Schools are not opened to the public during school hours. No animals will be allowed in the shelters. We are unable to use Shive at this time due to the building no longer having water.
A quick reminder -- check out the Vernon Roarin' Lion Band Program BBQ Fundraiser tomorrow!!
Today we wrapped up the first week back from our Spring Break, and all the students, teachers and staff are focused on finishing the 2023-24 school year strong. And, so is VISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward, as he stated in his latest article, "...A perfect example of this mindset is the fact that the current spring focus is indeed on finishing the current year strong, but is also on setting ourselves up well for next year.
