The annual Denim Day for breast cancer awareness was successful at Mount Vernon and Saltillo ISDs this year. Mount Vernon raised $395 during the event and Saltillo raised $220 for a total of $615 to be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. On Denim Day, teachers and staff at the schools paid $5 each to wear jeans. For more information, see the Oct. 25 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.
