The Vernon Lions' new Spirit Bell was unveiled last Friday night at the Lions' regular-season finale at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium. The Vernon Street Machines & Classics Association presented an idea to repurpose the old school bell, which was dedicated in front of the city's first two-story, all-grades school house in 1890. It had stood in front of Central Elementary School since 1950. For more on the bell's story, please follow this link https://www.vernonisd.org/article/3244957
In the future, the bell will be at home football games and will be rung when the Lions score. M'aujehl Aboso became the first Lion to ring the bell after he scored in last week's game.

Here are more photos of our kindergarten students as they toured United Supermarket today to wrap up their unit on plants. They explored the produce section, while also getting to tour the bakery and getting to enjoy a fresh baked cookie. They were also able to get a sneak peak behind the scenes where workers prepare fruit, where extra items are stored, and saw how boxes are compacted. They were also able to visit the coolers and the freezer. A big THANK YOU to United for giving our students a tour. They learned a lot and had a great time as well.
To wrap up their unit on plants, our kindergarten students took a field trip to United Supermarket this morning. Students explored the produce section to see all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables that come from plants. They toured the bakery where they saw fresh baked bread and cookies made from wheat, and each student got to enjoy a fresh baked cookie! The tour also included going behind the scenes to see where workers prepare fruit, where extra items are stored, and how boxes are compacted. They were also able to go into the coolers and even the freezer to see how different products are stored.
