Coach Bah and several Lion athletes helped prepare over 500 eggs Thursday afternoon for the annual Easter Egg Hunt that will be held Easter Sunday at 3 p.m. at Christine Lyday Park. The egg hunt is in memory of Janie Embers. It is wonderful when our students volunteer for community projects!
It was a fun time for teachers and staff Thursday afternoon as the final bell of the day marked the beginning of an Easter egg hunt just for them. Some of the eggs were special prize eggs. One of the prizes was a "Lunch Out on VHS" and claiming that prize was Stephen Able.
There have been game time changes for both the Lions and Lady Lions for their games tomorrow against City View.

CONGRATULATIONS!! To freshman Claire Mayo for winning the Girls Individual Medalist competition at the District 7-3A Golf Tournament. Claire will be advancing to the 3A Region 1 Golf Tournament along with teammate Cirsten Ivy. Claire, Cirsten and teammates Marli Limon and Jaylie Freeman finished third in the team competition. However in golf, only the top 2 teams advance to regionals. Cirsten is advancing to regionals due to some of the girls who finished ahead of her in the medalist standings already qualifying with their teams.
Vernon ISD will be closed Friday thru Monday for Easter. Classes and VISD Administrative offices will resume regular hours on Tuesday, April 2. We hope everyone has a wonderful 4-day weekend and a Happy Easter!

Remember today's Blood Drive sponsored by the VHS CNA/MA program. The blood drive is being held in the PE Gym and will continue until 2:30 p.m. At noon, they were 25 donors away from reaching their goal of collecting 40 units. The Our Blood Institute (formerly Texas Blood Institute) is running the blood drive and all the donations go to hospitals in our immediate area.
Our CNA program is sponsoring an Our Blood Institute (formerly Texas Blood Institute) Blood Drive on Monday. The blood drive will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., in the VHS P.E. Gym.
