4 students were chosen to represent Van Vleck High School as members of Youth Leadership Matagorda County. Cadence, Tia, Tatum, and Jahrius attended their first event this past week where they toured the STP Joint Information Center and their Emergency Operations Facility. They observed an STP Emergency drill and then were treated to lunch while hearing from the Matagorda County Emergency Management Coordinator, Amanda Campos. They then toured the Matagorda County Courthouse for a tour of the building.

Grady Weathers: Scholarship Award
Freshmen student, Grady Weathers, has been awarded a $1,000 Scholarship from Texas Quarter Horse Association.
Texas 4-H offers a 3 year Futurity Project for members to compete at the District and State Level. An exhibitor takes a foal through 3 years of training, starting first as a Yearling, where ground work is completed to familiarize the colt with people and is taught how to work off commands and controlled movements. The 2nd year, the horse is shown under saddle, and expected to complete basic maneuvers and work through obstacles. As a 3 year old, the under saddler skills are refined and the horse is closer to being finished with basic training and can then go on to more detailed training, depending on the area the horse will be used in later.
Grady completed the program with his horse, Twisted Marey Merada, and was the highest placing Futurity completer that is a member of Texas Quarter Horse Association (TQHA). TQHA is a large supporter of the stock horse industry.
Campus Involvement
Cheer Squad
Our VVHS cheerleaders have been busy helping spread school spirit. They are currently planning and preparing for the Mini Cheer camp that will be posted on October 7th and are excited to welcome 83 future Leopard cheerleaders to the camp. The mini cheerleaders will perform what they learn at camp at the last home game of the season against East Bernard on October 27th.
The Cheer squad continues to improve their stunting skills and are looking forward to showing more advanced skills at pep rallies to come. The State Spirit Competition is set for January 4th and we have our choreography day planned for Sunday, November 12. After that day, they will be working to prepare for competition.
