Friday morning, a "Qu" wedding was held for our kindergarten students. After the ceremony glueing "Qu" and you together forever and always, the students were treated to cookies and juice to celebrate.
Recently, the kindergarten students in Mrs. Sara Reeder’s GT Class planned, created, and tested structures to solve the problems in common Fairy Tales. They constructed a bridge to escape the troll, built a house that would withstand the wolf blowing on it, and helped Goldilocks by building chairs strong enough to support all the bears.
Vernon ISD will not have school Friday, since it was on the school calendar as a make up day for inclimate weather and we have not missed any days due to bad weather. After Friday, VISD will officially be on our spring break. All school campuses and offices will be closed the week of March 11-15. Classes resume on Monday, March 18. We hope everyone has a fun and safe spring break!
It is with great regret that I must inform you that we had to cancel this year’s yearbook. Due to staffing changes and with the number of days left in the school year, we would hate to produce something not up to our standards. If you order a yearbook, your order will be canceled. If you purchased a yearbook already, your order has been canceled and you should have received a refund to the account in which it was paid from. If you have any further questions, please contact myself or Scott Hogue, Principal of McCord Elementary.
Spring Break is almost here, but your student may need their jacket during the break. TODAY ONLY- Lost jackets, hats, and water bottles will be placed outside on the 1st grade playground fence for pick up from 2:30-6:00pm.
