Last week was a fun one for McCord teachers and staff, as they participated in Secret Staff Spirit Week. Each day teachers and staff have dressed up without telling the students to see if they notice! Monday was Manic Mix-Match Monday where they dressed mix-matched; on Tired Tuesday they wore our pajamas to school; on Wednesday they wore pink because "We wear pink on Wednesdays."; on Thirsty Thankful Thursday they brought anything but a cup for a tasty treat from Mrs. Bloom. Friday completed their Secret Spirit Week and they wore stripes because they were "break"-ing out of McCord for Thanksgiving. Below are pictures from their Thirsty Thankful Thursday.

Today is Education Support Professionals Day! To operate efficiently and provide a quality education school districts need professionals working behind the scenes and outside the classroom who care as much about the students as those who work in the classroom. Vernon ISD is extremely lucky to have that type of behind-the-scenes professionals as members of our VISD family and we just want to say "Thank you" to all of them!!

Last week Atticus Mixon's tennis teammates applauded him being named the VHS Student Difference Maker for November. VHS Principal Dr. Cynthia Jackson said Atticus was chosen because he always maintains a positive attitude, even when times are challenging. Dr. Jackson stated Lions Tennis Coach Carrie Castleberry and members of the team told her Atticus is always encouraging to his teammates and he inspires others to follow his example. He is a success on and off the tennis court, as Atticus maintains high academic standards in the classroom, and he always has a "lion's heart".
