Earlier this week World History students stepped outside to play the oldest game known to mankind. This game is believed to have been around for 20,000 years or more. Paleontologists named it "Chunk-ay". Bowling, marbles and soccer are games that have get their roots from this game. Scientists were able to gather knowledge about this game thru contextual data.

Yesterday students in Mrs. Wendy Birbeck's CNA classes learned how to do CPR on both adults and babies. John Perez, a paramedic with the Vernon Fire Department, was the instructor for the training.

Seven VHS seniors have been nominated for 2025 Homecoming King. Those nominees are Prentice Murray, Carlos Moreno, Tru Gipson, Jamari Chance, Ty Scott, Mason Ballard, Ben Armstrong, and (not pictured) Kadyn Whiteside. This year, instead of students voting for homecoming king, the nominee who raises the most money will be named the 2025 Homecoming King. So, these young men may be conducting fundraisers between now and our Oct. 10 homecoming. All money raised will go towards VHS student and Student Council activities and projects.

For those who will be attending the JV football game in Burkburnett. You can purchase tickets online at: https://www.burkburnettisd.org/o/athletics/page/event-tickets and at the gate. Also, please be aware that Burkburnett ISD has a clear bag policy that is explained below.
