And, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. To have a little fun, we have a dress-up theme every day this week. So, let's have some fun this week.
We just heard -- our state medalist tracksters will be here a little after 5 p.m. Line Wilbarger and let them know how much support they had and how proud we are of them as they are led down Wilbarger by our Vernon PD, Vernon FD, and Wilbarger County Sheriff's Office. Then follow them to the fieldhouse and congratulation them!
Get ready to welcome back our State Track & Field Medalists!! They will be escorted down Wilbarger by Vernon Police & Fire Departments, as well as the Sheriff's Office! Wave, honk your horns and follow them on to the VHS Fieldhouse. They should arrive at approximately 3:45 p.m. That time is tentative. As soon as we have a definite time we will repost. Keep a lookout. We have 7 state medalists!!!

Due to the high percentage for rain Wednesday morning, the decision has been made to move the Vernon All-Star Olympics to the Boys & Girls Club of Vernon. We are so thankful for the Boys & Girls Club offering to host our event in their two gyms. We would love to fill the stands in the gym with fans cheering on our all-star athletes. Tyson Foods will also be running a concession stand, with all proceeds going to the Vernon All-Star Olympics program.
