The Vernon Lions' new Spirit Bell was unveiled last Friday night at the Lions' regular-season finale at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium. The Vernon Street Machines & Classics Association presented an idea to repurpose the old school bell, which was dedicated in front of the city's first two-story, all-grades school house in 1890. It had stood in front of Central Elementary School since 1950. For more on the bell's story, please follow this link https://www.vernonisd.org/article/3244957
In the future, the bell will be at home football games and will be rung when the Lions score. M'aujehl Aboso became the first Lion to ring the bell after he scored in last week's game.

It's the first school day of a new month and that means a new cafeteria menu is out!! Here's the November cafeteria menu for our VISD campuses. Please remember ALL of our students receive a free breakfast and lunch at all of our campuses.
Vernon ISD's phone system is currently down. We cannot receive calls or call out. Technicians are working on the issue and we hope to have service restored soon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Before you go to bed tonight be sure and move your clocks back an hour, as Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow. We're looking forward to earlier sunrises so there is more light when our students are catching buses and arriving at campuses. We look forward to seeing everyone Monday morning!!
Our Lions will hit the road this afternoon to travel to Boyd for tonight's district showdown with the Yellowjackets. A Vernon victory will secure at least third place and the No. 3 seed going into the playoffs. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and the forecast calls for only a slight chance of rain during the game. Tickets can be purchased at the gate, however sales are cash only. Tickets can be purchased online at: https://fan.hudl.com/usa/tx/boyd/organization/11455/boyd-high-school/tickets
