Please take a moment today to remember the events of 9-11-2001 and those who lost their lives that day. Also, remember the unity our country had immediately after those attacks. The UNITED States of America desperately needs that unity in these current days!

This past week, students in Mr. Justin Stone's Principles of Agriculture class attempted to "buzz in first" when they competed in "FFA Jeopardy." Mr. Stone created the game to help students review FFA history for an upcoming exam. Students rotated at the buzzers, while another student did their best Alex Trebek impression for each round. Good luck to everyone on their exam!!

Our Lions tennis team will be traveling to Iowa Park this afternoon for a team tennis district showdown with the Hawks. The match will get underway at 4 p.m., at the Iowa Park High School Tennis Courts. Good luck Lions!!

Due to a recent law, school counselors, just like school nurses, must now have parental consent before providing routine counseling services to students. Our school counselors have a form we are asking all parents to fill out and return to their child's school. Students at Vernon Middle School and Vernon High School should have brought their form home yesterday (Monday), while students at Vernon Elementary and T.G. McCord Elementary will be bringing their form home today. Parents, PLEASE complete the form and return it to the school as soon as possible.
