On Thursday, students in Mrs. Julie Terry's 8th grade Honors class created food trucks connected to the novel they are reading, "The Giver." The book is a dystopian novel where everyone is the same and no one can see color. The students chose different characters to staff their food trucks and created menus that only connected back to the book. Some chose their menu by color, others by important symbols from the novel and others from giving the food names that tie to the novel. They created uniforms based on the novel, playlists, and eating utensils. Mrs. Terry said all of the students did very well.
Our Winter Formal was held Thursday evening and during the event a ceremony to crown our Winter Formal King and Queen for each grade was held. Selected as our Winter Formal Kings and Queens were: D'Angelo Galvan & Keely Lehman for 6th Grade; Lux Limon & Torren Adams for 7th Grade; and Bryson Boswell & Brillet Castillo Beltran for 8th Grade. Congratulations to them all!!
Earlier this week students in our VMS Life Skills class worked on their fine motor skills while decorating Gingerbread Houses as they began celebrating the Christmas season. They all did a great job.

Fans attending our Middle School and High School basketball games will soon be seeing this flyer posted around the concession stand. The Wilbarger Health Coalition has started a Healthier Concessions Project aimed at assisting local school districts in offering healthier food options in their concession stands. This is not an attempt to remove the candy and soda that everyone loves from the concession stands, but for the concession stands to add healthier options for families supporting our area teams. Vernon ISD wants to know what healthier food options our Lady Lions' and Lions' fans would consider purchasing if available at the concession stand. To take the Coalition survey, please scan the QR code below or go to https://forms.gle/L8T8Ay5p6zDKB3NV6
