A huge thank you to the Marion City Council for the generous donation that made this project possible. Your support helps our students build real-world skills and helps our community celebrate moments that matter.









VMS is grateful for our two amazing counselors, Ms. Semler and Ms. Zahn and our outstanding behavior specialist, Ms. Cochrane. Their commitment to our students makes our school a better place! Read more about their role at Vernon here: https://www.marion-isd.org/article/2684511.



Happy School Counselors Week to Parkview Elementary's Mrs. Johnson! Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and school community! #MISDOwnYourFuture #MISDinspire




After many years of attempts, Mrs. Hale got her 5th Grade study hall a shout out on the national news program, "The World from A-Z with Carl Azuz." The students' screams of excitement could be heard on three floors!
