We are extremely grateful for Wilbarger General Hospital providing free sports physicals for our Vernon athletes. Students and parents, please remember all athletes who will be in the 7th, 9th or 11th grade next year, and those who suffered a major injury this past year, are required to take a physical before they will be allowed to participate in any workouts. This is a great opportunity to get one item on your list of things you need for 2026-27 school year crossed off your list!!

Students in Mrs. Hanson's Anatomy & Physiology classes were hands on last week. They dissected cow eyes to observe the structures of the eye. Since the students have completed studying the Nervous System, they were able to point out the structures as part of the lab and were able to get a better understanding of the intricate parts of the eye. The students have also been studying the functions and structures of the cardiovascular system. During that lab, they had to point out the structures on the outside of the heart, then dissect the heart and identify the chambers and other structures inside the heart. Students also had to show the directions the blood flows through the heart.
If you want something to munch on while waiting for the Santa Rosa Parade to start rolling through downtown tomorrow afternoon be sure and stop by the Vernon ISD Administration Building on the north side of the Wilbarger County Courthouse and grab some freshly popped popcorn!! We'll be serving from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.!!
Last week Mary Latimer, a former pilot, flight trainer, and air traffic controller was a guest speaker in some of our 2nd grade classes, and she is returning this week to speak to the other 2nd grade classes. This was a great time for Mrs. Latimer to visit our 2nd grade classes, as students are currently in the middle of studying a unit on aviation.

On April 9, as part of Ms. Owen's Kindergarten Gifted and Talented project GT students placed eggs in an incubator and monitored their development. On May 1 the chicks hatched and students held the chicks on May 7. Throughout the process, the students researched and practiced "candling," a method used to observe the growth of the embryo inside the egg. To stay organized, Ms. Owen helped the students create a calendar to track the number of days the eggs were in the incubator, as well as the projected hatch date. The class also kept a journal and recorded observations, reflections, and new learning as the students followed the exciting journey from egg to chick!
