Vernon ISD is lucky to have an outstanding group of paraprofessionals working at all of our campuses, and today we would like to tell them how much we appreciate all they do for the district. We are lucky to have paraprofessionals who step up wherever needed to make sure their campus runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you for all you do for our teachers and our students.
