Congratulations to our 3 VMS students -- Beckett Bayer, Brazos Eakin and Gavin Bayer -- who are competing in the Texas Junior High Rodeo Association State Finals in Gonzales this week. With over 750 contestants across 10 regions in Texas and only the Top 10 in each event advancing to the State Finals, qualifying for the State FInals is quite an accomplishment!! These three young men worked hard both in and out of the arena to qualify for the State Finals by maintaining the grades and conduct required to compete. We are so proud of Beckett, Brazos and Gavin and wish them the best of luck as they compete in the TJHRA State Finals, which began last Saturday and will continue this week before wrapping up this Saturday.

Students in Mrs. Felicia Robinson's Foundations of Business Communication & Technologies classes earned an awesome honor this year for Vernon Middle School. Due to their hard work and proficiency, VMS placed 5th out of 107 middle schools across the entire State of Texas in the 2026 Texas Keyboarding Challenge! This accomplishment is a testament to the dedication, skill, and hard work the students and Mrs. Robinson put in this year. The honor not only reflects the technical proficiency of the students, but the commitment of VMS has to prepare students with essential digital skills for the future.

Students who didn't buy a VMS Yearbook still have an opportunity to purchase one! For a limited time yearbooks can be purchased online and shipped to the student's home. Don't miss out on this wonderful memory book.
