Vessey Students
Work Hard to Provide for the Hungry During Holiday Season
On November 26th many Vessey cadets and staff were out
providing a helping hand. Starting at 5 am cadets, they arrived at
the Cherokee restaurant and prepared 4,000 meals. The meals where
delivered to various locations, so everyone could enjoy a nice
Thanksgiving dinner. The combined effort with Humboldt, and other
members in the community made this a success. Though we did not
meet any of the people receiving the meals, the thought warmed our
hearts.
Raid your cupboards, Vessey is
at it again; our second annual food drive is in effect. Our school
goal is 1,000 pounds. In a combined effort with Humboldt, we will
be donating the food to the Neighborhood House Food Shelf. Non
Perishable food items are accepted, any canned, boxed, bagged, or
bottled items are greatly appreciated. Anyone wishing to donate
may do so at Vessey, before the 15th of December when
we will be delivering the food. If we meet our 1,000 pound goal,
the cadet company with the greatest donation measured in pounds
will win a pizza party.
Vessey To Offer On-Line
Education (V.O.L.E.)
Vessey Academy is now offering coursework online. This program was developed
to serve students who struggle to make it to school all day or every day due
to personal circumstances. This program allows students to bridge learning
during periods of time when they are unavailable to attend. All courses meet
state or national standards and are supported by our license content area
teachers. For more information, click on V.O.L.E. in the green box on the left
