Mashio's October Recipe of the Month
September is a time to raise awareness, spread hope, and remind one another that no one has to face difficult moments alone.
At Vernon Township School District, we believe every student deserves to feel Safe, Seen, and Supported.
Creating a caring school community means making space for students to talk, listen to one another, ask for help, and know that their
feelings matter.
A simple conversation, a kind word, or checking in on someone can make a meaningful difference. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to a trusted adult, counselor, teacher, family member, or another caring person.
Let’s continue building a community where students know they are valued, supported, and never alone.
Together, we can spread hope, strengthen connections, and remind every student that they matter.

Student Leadership in Action!
On August 31, Vernon’s 2026–2027 Student Board Representative, Azraelle Bases, took an important step in her leadership journey by attending the Sussex County Student Board Member Training at Lenape Valley Regional High School.
Azraelle attended the training alongside Vernon Superintendent Eveny de Mendez, joining student representatives from across Sussex County for a day focused on leadership, advocacy, communication, and understanding the important role student board representatives play in their school communities.
The session, hosted by Sussex County School Boards representative Kelly Mitchell, provided valuable guidance and insight to help student representatives prepare for the year ahead. Opportunities like this empower students to develop their leadership skills, learn how to effectively represent the voices and perspectives of their peers, and gain a deeper understanding of the role they play in contributing to their school district.
As Vernon’s Student Board Representative, Azraelle will serve as an important student voice throughout the 2026–2027 school year. We look forward to seeing her bring her ideas, perspective, and commitment to student leadership to the Vernon Township School District community.
Please join us in congratulating Azraelle Bases on this exciting leadership opportunity and wishing her a successful year as Vernon’s 2026–2027 Student Board Representative! 💙
We are proud to have Azraelle representing Vernon and look forward to all she will accomplish this year!
