Dear Vega ISD Community:
On behalf of our school district, we want to wish our students, staff, and community a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for a blessed 2024 and we are excited about what 2025 will bring!
This week marks the conclusion to the fall semester of the school year - and for class Christmas parties! Time has flown by and our students and staff have been very busy with many academic and extracurricular activities this semester. Our 2nd-4th grade students who met their AR goals for the 9 weeks were treated to a movie celebration in the library. Our high school students enjoyed a Christmas movie in the auditorium as well to finish out the semester. We are excited about the Christmas Concert for our elementary students’ singing and our junior high and high school band students are able to perform.
Our students and staff participated in the Vega ISD Christmas Spirit Week this week with Christmas t-shirt day, pajama day, ugly Christmas sweater day, and Christmas outfit day. It has been a festive week! Last Friday also saw our students greeted by Santa and The Grinch as they arrived at school. The Grinch may have gotten into some mischief in the elementary hallway, but Mrs. Vogler made sure to take care of business and show The Grinch the error of his ways!
We hosted our annual Spelling Bee. We are proud of all of our students who competed in this contest and for our Champions and Runner-Up Champions. The Vega FFA attended the Amarillo District FFA Banquet last week. Several of our students were presented with LDE banners. We also had our own FFA president elected as the District Secretary. Be sure to check out the district’s webpage and facebook page for more information and pictures.
We also have a Rodeo World Champion in our school! Congratulations to Hagen Spiva for this amazing accomplishment and to all of our students who compete in rodeo in the various competitions. We are very proud of all of your work and the talents you share. Be sure to check out the district’s webpage and facebook page for more information and pictures.
Our JV and Varsity basketball teams have begun district play and our junior high basketball teams continue to progress through their season. Be sure to come check out their games when we return to school in January. Our gym will be closed December 21-25 in accordance with UIL rules. Our Varsity Boys and Girls basketball teams will compete in the Annual Caprock Holiday Basketball Tournament in Lubbock after Christmas.
Thank you,
Jerry Adams
Superintendent, Vega ISD
