Vernon Middle School

Our 6th grade students got a surprise Friday morning, as Vernon College donated college t-shirts to all of them to help promote college awareness. The t-shirts were handed it this morning in class.

On Thursday, students represented VMS in a Junior High One-Act Play competition in Graham. The VMS production of "Nicholas Nickleby" finished in second place in the competition. The student playing the title character, Logan Ware, was named Best Performer in the competition, and four other students earned All-Star Cast honors.
