Principal's Message

Dear Vernon Families,

Vernon has been awarded the Nike Employee Grant Fund for $20,000!  This new funding will be used for several transformations to our playground area.

Some of these transformations will include a basketball/futsal court and the purchase of a volleyball set for the outside courtyard.

Big thanks to two groups:  Thank you to the middle school students whose voices helped make this happen!  They compiled statistics through a recreation survey, made graphs, wrote letters of support and will be collecting data on how much the equipment will be used.  They were the heart and soul of the proposal.

Thank yous also go to those who gave many hours of their time and talent to this project, meeting in committee, writing the grant and consulting with the architect, Dave Elkin.  Thank you Laura Joyce, Jamie Daignault, Julie Cushing, and Dave Elkin.

Go Owls!

Sincerely,

Tina Acker, Principal
