Dear Vega ISD Community:
Yesterday I was able to watch the 5th grade students rehearse their part for next week’s Thanksgiving program. There is much to be thankful for during this upcoming holiday season and I am so glad our students are provided opportunities to express thankfulness through events such as this, the Veterans’ Day program, community service projects, and many others.
Congratulations to our Lady Horns Volleyball team for a remarkable season. Our community traveled well to every playoff game and supported our team wholeheartedly. The Volleyball team finished the season as the Regional Semi-Final Champions and made the program’s first ever Regional Finals appearance. Please see the district’s webpage and Facebook page for pictures and more information.
Over 90 students from Vega Elementary and Junior High traveled to Borger last Friday for the UIL Academic Contest. Congratulations to Vega Junior High for finishing as the Runner Up Champions in the Junior High UIL Academic Contest. We are very proud of our students and academic coaches for their effort and hard work in their return to this contest after taking a break the past couple of years. I was able to serve as one of the speaking event judges at the UIL contest and the way our students conducted themselves and represented our school was very impressive. It is amazing to see our elementary and junior high students prepare and compete in different academic competitions.
The junior high basketball teams have started their seasons with some wins. The JV and Varsity boys basketball team held their first game of the season last week in Nazareth. The Varsity girls basketball team will begin their season this week at the Claude Basketball Tournament.
We want to wish our FFA students continued success this weekend as they compete at the Area Contest for Leadership Development Events (LDE). Our District Champion Chapter Conducting Team and our District Runner-Up Radio Team and Greenhand Skills Team will compete in the Area Contest.
Thank you,
Jerry Adams
Superintendent, Vega ISD
