Some of our students aged overnight, as they showed up at school today dressed as senior citizens to celebrate the 100th day of school. Don't they look great?
Rhea Snow is wearing 100 glow stick bracelets in celebration of today being our 100th day of school because she is "100 days brighter" than she was when the school year began. Awesome job Rhea!!
Some students and teacher/staff celebrated our 100th day of school today by wearing a "100" t-shirt.

Tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 2, is the 100th day of our 2023-24 school year, and the 1st graders at McCord got a jump on the celebration. Each student made an autograph book and was tasked with getting autographs from 100 of their classmates. They were definitely enjoying the project this afternoon.
We apologize for the delay. Here is the VISD Cafeteria Menu for February.
Tune in tonight to the Channel 6 10 p.m. newscast and catch VISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward's interview with KAUZ journalist Rowan Hardman. The story focuses on VISD's partnership with Child Care Partners for the new daycare center that will be located in the Central Elementary building.
This morning Vernon Mayor Pam Goslin spoke to our 2nd and 3rd grade students and explained what her duties were as mayor, and talked a little about how city government works.

The Vernon Lions will be heading east instead of west in their new District 4-3A, Division 1 Football district.

A slow start cost the Lions Tuesday night as they fell to the No. 20-ranked City View Mustangs, 72-60, in a District 7-3A contest. Vernon rallied and was within 6 points early in the third quarter, but the Mustangs regrouped and regained control of the game. Vernon is now 6-3 in district play, while the Mustangs improve to 6-2. The teams split their two district games. The Lions are open Friday night and return to action next Tuesday when they host Bowie.
Our Lady Lions ran into a roadblock Tuesday night at the City View Gym, as the Lady Mustangs picked up a 53-43 victory that snapped Vernon's 5-game winning streak. The Lady Lions are now 6-5 in District 7-3A and remain in sole possession of third place. City View is 9-1 and in first place. The Lady Lions are open Friday night, and wrap up the regular season at home next Tuesday against Bowie.
