TUNE IN to tonight's KFDX Channel 3 sports segment during the 6 p.m. newscast, as they put the spotlight on our Vernon Lions, who were named the Team of the Week!! Congrats to the coaches and players!!
Approximately every quarter, VISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward writes an article to let the community know how our district is performing. Here is his latest article, written while he was on a trip.
For anyone who works in a public school, the Christmas Break is always a welcome time of the year. It is a time when we get to refresh our batteries. For some, it is a time to completely remove themselves from the job, but as a superintendent, I can never fully disengage. Whenever I have tried it, I always develop a sense of low-key anxiety thinking about the lost opportunity to get a little ahead of the job. For that reason, I did not feel crazy at all for turning a trip to Quito, Ecuador over the break to sharpen my Spanish skill set, into a work session..... to continue reading Dr. Ward's article, please go to www.vernonisd.org
