This is Science Week for our 1st grade students and today 3 Rivers Foundation set up four science stations for our students to visit. One station was All About Magnets, while another was Rock Friends. 3 Rivers brought a portable planetarium so our students could go on A Visit To Outer Space, and Gateway Water brought a learning trailer so students could learn about the water cycle and how we can be good stewards of our water.

Yesterday our VISD Grounds and Transportation Department held its annual hamburger cookout and presented their end of the year awards. Kenneth Reynolds was named the Custodian of the Year, while Kenneth Newton received the Maintenance Worker of the Year award. The Bus Driver of the Year award went to Steve Azbell. We greatly appreciate all of our custodians, maintenance workers and bus drivers. Your behind-the-scenes work is invaluable to Vernon ISD. It would be hard for the district to function without all of you!! Thank you for another great year!!

We all know that it takes a village to put on any type of an event, but it also takes a leader. We would like to give Coach Edwin Bah a shout out for leading the way for our All-Star Olympics that was held here Monday for our Life Skills students and for helping take them to compete yesterday in Altus. We would also like to thank all the coaches, teachers, staff and students who helped make it a special day for our special students. I think we enjoyed as much, if not more, than they did. Seeing all of the smiles was priceless!
