A Great Place to Learn and Grow!

Thank you, Veterans, for your service and for keeping our amazing country free! We appreciate and support the proud men and women in the United States Armed Forces!

The Vessels Turkey Trot


The Vessels PTA's annual Turkey Trot is Friday, November 17, 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. You can help by sending the QR code to friends and family who want to help us achieve our goal this year! Please see the attached flyers for instructions, incentives, prizes, and events that will make the next few weeks (and months) memorable for our kids and community! There will be some surprises along the way, so please stay tuned!


* Please note that due to forecasted rain, the event date may be moved to after the break. I will let you know as soon as I have more information early this week

We Need You!

Gratitude Wall


Join us this week to celebrate all that is good in the world! As we think about gratitude and all that comes with it, we invite you to join the students and staff in posting what you/we are thankful for on the Gratitude Wall located outside of the Vessels MPR


Our gates will open at 2:55 p.m. for dismissal and we invite you to post on the wall after all kids leave and before 4:00 p.m. each day this week.


We are thankful for you and your support of Vessels!
