Wednesday is the last day for the 3 to 10 year old campers, while the 11 to 18 year olds will wrap up camp on Thursday.

What a week it was at the Texas Junior High Rodeo Association State Finals for our three VMS students.
Beckett Bayer, Gavin Bayer, and Brazos Eakin each finished in the Top 15 and advanced to the Short Round in their qualifying events.
Beckett and Gavin qualified for the Short Round in Team Roping, while Brazos qualified for the Short Round in Ribbon Roping and Goat Tying.
The Bayer boys finished 4th in the aggregate, earning buckles and prize money. Brazos finished 15th in Ribbon Roping and qualified for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Goat Tying, also earning buckles and prize money.
We are incredibly proud of these student-athletes for representing Vernon Middle School so well. Congratulations on an outstanding season, and good luck to Brazos at Nationals in June! 🦁
