CONGRATULATIONS!! To freshman Claire Mayo for winning the Girls Individual Medalist competition at the District 7-3A Golf Tournament. Claire will be advancing to the 3A Region 1 Golf Tournament along with teammate Cirsten Ivy. Claire, Cirsten and teammates Marli Limon and Jaylie Freeman finished third in the team competition. However in golf, only the top 2 teams advance to regionals.

Yesterday with plenty of laughs and giggles, students in Ms. Rose Rivera's art classes wrapped up their confetti egg projects by breaking them on each other. The project helped the students with their colors and other art elements. The top of the eggshell was broken to get the egg out, and students then colored their egg, made confetti to put it in, filled the egg and glued a piece a paper to the top of the egg.

Remember today's Blood Drive sponsored by the VHS CNA/MA program. The blood drive is being held in the PE Gym and will continue until 2:30 p.m. At noon, they were 25 donors away from reaching their goal of collecting 40 units. The Our Blood Institute (formerly Texas Blood Institute) is running the blood drive and all the donations go to hospitals in our immediate area.
As a part of your school's health services, a spinal screening is being held tomorrow at VES. Per State of Texas requirements, only 5th grade girls will be screened Tuesday. Students are required to remove their shirt for this exam. For this reason, we request all girls wear a swimsuit top or sports bra underneath their shirt tomorrow. Students are screened by a school nurse with a partition in place for their privacy. Students will not be required or asked to remove their shirt in front of other students. If your child shows any sign of spinal defect at the screening, the information will be relayed to you in writing. It is hoped you will consult your physician for diagnoses and follow-up care as recommended.
