Membership is optional but helps support our efforts.
Upcoming Events
From community nights to fundraisers, here's whatβs ahead. Donβt miss whatβs coming up!
New Outdoor Learning Courtyard!
Made possible by Depave and the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, and supported by the PTA,
this project replaces asphalt with trees, native gardens, seating areas, a willow tunnel and more.
Weβll be making way for a whole new outdoor space where students can learn, explore, and thrive.
The project has begun! Depave, Vestal families, and community members came together to start removing pavement on Saturday June 21st. Check the in-process pics below!
