The Vessels Turkey Trot

The Vessels PTA's annual Foam, Turkey Trot is this Tuesday, November 28, and we look forward to our best event yet!

Our goal this year is $50,000, and with your help, we can fund field trips, assemblies, supplies, STEM activities, supplementary curriculum, playground equipment, and many more extras that make Vessels a great place to learn and grow.
