Students in Mrs. Inman's 4th grade Social Studies class wrapped up their project on Native Americans Friday by presenting the dioramas they made and giving a presentation to their class on the tribe they researched. Each student researched an Indian tribe native to Texas. In their research, they answered questions such as what area of Texas the tribe lived in; what tools the tribe used; what they wore; what they ate; and what type of structures they live in.
I am sorry it is late notice but I wanted to let you know my classes are presenting their indian dioramas today from 9:45-11:35 and 1:45-3:35 if you have some time to come snap some pictures. Again I am so sorry this is late notice.

During this November election, Vernon ISD is conducting a special election to fill the unexpired term for Place 3 on the VISD Board of Trustees. Here are the 5 candidates for the seat in the order they appear on the ballot.
Before we went on Fall Break, an election was held for Student Council officers. Elected as officers of the 2024-25 Student Council were: Isla Streit, president; Keely Jones, vice president; Gavin Bayer, treasurer; and Nilianna Hines, secretary. Also serving on the Student Council are Keegan Coley, Mathius Leija, Xavier Gomez, D'Angelo Galvan, Braylee Knight, Parker Ford, Xavier Sanders, and Aiden Hernandez.
Last Wednesday, in celebration of Fall Break, Mrs. Kelli Coble's 3rd grade class had a cross-curriculum lesson using Candy Corn. Students learned about the history of Candy Corn, wrote an opinion piece on it, used it in several science experiments, and even made a catapult. The students learned a lot and may have done a little bit of snacking too!
