On Wednesday, students in Mrs. Allison Stanley's chemistry class used stoichiometry to predict the number of s'mores (products) could be made based on a set number of ingredients (reactants). The students also had to write a balanced reaction equation based off their findings. That's probably a pretty good trade off for being allowed to make and eat s'mores in class.
Vernon ISD will not have school Friday, since it was on the school calendar as a make up day for inclimate weather and we have not missed any days due to bad weather. After Friday, VISD will officially be on our spring break. All school campuses and offices will be closed the week of March 11-15. Classes resume on Monday, March 18. We hope everyone has a fun and safe spring break!
This week is National School Social Work Week and we want to thank our Vernon ISD social worker, Nicole Cameron, for all she does for our students, staff and community!
Last month Vernon ISD held a CTE Fair for all of our 7th, 8th and 9th grade students. At the fair, students were able to hear presentations from local residents who have jobs within a career pathway in which the student has shown an interest. One of our CTE industry partners for the Nursing Science pathway is Wilbarger General Hospital. Director of the WGH Rehabilitation Department, Shelley Gillis, attended the fair and spoke to our students. Thank you Shelley for taking time to visit with our students and thank you WGH for being a CTE Industry Sponsor. #wilbargergeneral
