Things were a little "Wicked" around VMS today, as we were visited by Elphaba and Glinda.
It was definitely a fun time around here today at McCord! We had a lot of "new" students roaming the halls.
Halloween is fun for adults too!!! Just check out our Wilbarger Shared Services Arrangement (WSSA) staff in their 101 Dalmation costumes, and some of our VMS administrators and staff in their Ms. Pacman and ghosts attire.
Our Perfect Attendance award winners for the 2nd Six Weeks are: Matthew Servin, 6th Grade; Xander White, 7th Grade; and Ayden Cothran, 8th Grade. Each student received a $150 Amazon gift card. Great job guys!! And, great job to all those who had perfect attendance for the 2nd Six Weeks.
There was a variety of colors walking the halls Thursday as it was "Color Wars By Grade!!" to go along with yesterday's Red Ribbon Week theme of "War Against Drugs." This week, VISD joined schools across the nation participating in Red Ribbon Week to help fight the war against drugs and education students on drug awareness.

Earlier this month, our Chemistry students began their unit covering the Periodic Table by researching how it is organized. Students then used their research to build their own personal periodic table over something they are interested in, or are passionate about.
Our Lions are hosting Iowa Park in a football game here Friday night, but there's alot going on before, in the middle, and after the game. Check out the graphic below. So...plan to come early and stay late to cheer on and support all of our VISD students!!
Wednesday was the last day for snacks through the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, and in staying with the holiday coming up on Friday, the fruit for the day was Blood Oranges. Every Monday and Wednesday during the month of October, our McCord students got to try a special fruit or vegetable -- some of which the students had never eaten before -- during their snack time. This is the second year for Vernon ISD to receive the FFVP grant for McCord.
Students our life skills class were busy this week painting pumpkins for Halloween. They all did a great job!
