Today is School Custodian Appreciation Day and custodians at all of our campuses were treated to cupcakes today in celebration. We have an amazing custodial crew who work tirelessly to make sure our teachers and other staff members have a clean place to work and our students have a clean place to learn. We couldn't make it without each and every one of them. The district, along with their campuses, appreciate all they do each and every day!!

This morning 23 4th and 5th grade boys attended the 7th T.I.E. Club meeting of the year. The guest speaker this morning was Pastor Anthony Inman, who spoke on integrity -- doing what is right even when no one else is looking. He related integrity to the school environment (hallways and classrooms) and shared how integrity affected him while he was attending college. Pastor Inman also provided some information on a community service opportunity for the club, that being Salvation Army bell ringers during the Christmas season. The T.I.E. Club meets every Wednesday and is open to all VES boys in the 4th and 5th grades.
This morning in Coach Gonzales' Money Matters class, students worked on zero-based budgets. The students were given scenarios that included size of their families, their family income and family expenses, and then worked out a budget that balanced out to zero at the end of the month.

There was fun and good food to be had last Friday at our Lions Roar Homecoming Tailgate, that was held in front of the Vernon Elementary School prior to the kickoff of the homecoming football game.
