Winners of the VMS Teacher Turkey Tournament were: Most Creative -- Mr. Spencer, Ms. Boswell and Ms. Flores; and Most Feathers -- Coach Brown, Coach Patterson and Ms. Williams.
Our teachers participated in a fun Turkey Tournament prior to the Thanksgiving Break. The teachers were split into teams and they had to make a turkey using feathers they found hidden around the campus. Teachers could also earn feathers in a couple of different ways, including writing a "thankful" note to someone or about something at VMS. There were some great entries.
Friday morning, Vernon ISD administrators and VISD board trustees visited campuses and distributed Covid Retention Stipend checks to all staff members so they would have the funds for shopping over the Thanksgiving Break.
