Vessels Elementary School: A Great Place to Learn and Grow!
Martin Luther King Jr.

No School Monday, January 17, 2022, to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Join us as we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader of the civil rights movement and advocate for peace and equality. He left an indelible mark on our nation, and as we celebrate him and his legacy, let's spend the day in service to others!

We will see you back at Vessels on Tuesday, January 18.
