We kicked off the school year today with a great meeting with our CCBOE School Social Workers and School-Based Mental Health Therapists from WellStone!

We are so thankful for these dedicated professionals and the important work they do each day to support our students, families, and schools. Their commitment to student well-being helps ensure our students have the resources and support they need to succeed!

If your family would like more information about available school social work or school-based mental health resources, please reach out to our Mental Health Services Coordinator (MHSC), Karen Pinion.

Dr. Barnette appreciated a big hug from one of our State Archery Champions, Kimber Jarrett, while attending last night's 2nd Friday event in Cullman. While she did excellent individually she also contributed to Vinemont Elementary winning the State Archery Championship as a team this year. They are quickly becoming an archery powerhouse!
