The 6th graders in Mr. Mayrose’s social studies classes wrapped up their cultural unit by researching a country of their choosing and presenting their findings in front of the class. The students took notes on the clothing, customs, traditions, food, education, language, sports, and other aspects of each country's culture. They presented their findings in either a slideshow, tri-fold presentation, or movie format. Some classes enjoyed traditional dishes, snacks, and drinks from around the world. #vmsinspire

In addition to being selected for this honor band, eighth graders had the opportunity to audition for the prestigious All-Iowa Eighth Grade Honor Band. Abram B. was selected on trumpet and will perform at the Iowa Bandmasters Association conference in May. Abram will perform with 132 of the top eighth grade musicians in the state of Iowa.

Please welcome our new 5th/6th grade LD/BD teacher, Brittany Scott. She is from Marion, IA. This is her second year as a teacher. Last year she taught at FMI. She decided to go into teaching because she was an associate for 5 years and absolutely loved it, and wanted to play a greater roll. She chose to work at a middle school because it’s a fun age! She has a ten year old who is also at Vernon this year. She just had a baby in June. She got married in April and a few months ago got a new dog.
Interesting Fact: She was on the Five seasons water ski team growing up and now her daughter and husband were first time members this last summer.
