Students in our Culinary Program cooked and served a complete Thanksgiving dinner to VHS teachers, staff and administration today. The menu included everything from turkey and dressing, to mac and cheese, and to the peach cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. Everything was outstanding!! Mrs. Audrey Hastings and her students did an amazing job.
Today is Education Support Professionals Day! To operate efficiently and provide a quality education school districts need professionals working behind the scenes and outside the classroom who care as much about the students as those who work in the classroom. Vernon ISD is extremely lucky to have that type of behind-the-scenes professionals as members of our VISD family and we just want to say "Thank you" to all of them!!
We wrapped up our VHS Student Incentive Fund Fundraiser and the top three students who raised the most money were Kaydence Smith, Kellan Byars and Donnie Montano. The students received an Amazon gift card.
