On Monday, students in Coach White's Economic classes took a field trip to the Vernon City Hall to learn where to pay staple bills such as water and electricity. The City's Tracey Templeton and Lydia Garza spoke to the students about how to pay a water bill as well as factors involved with the bill process. The students also met with Vernon City Manager Darell Kennon and Mayor Pam Goslin. The students were also able to tour the old Vernon Lions Den that is located on the top floor of the old City Hall building. A big thank you to the City of Vernon for hosting our students. The trip was both a learning experience and a fun one!
