Order your school water bottle today and show that Vernon spirit during the 2026-27 school year!! Vernon Elementary is currently selling water bottles with our logo on them. The water bottles come in three colors and two sizes, and your student's name can be imprinted on the bottle. UPDATE -- Anyone can order a water bottle. However, this is a fundraiser for the VES students, so you have to put the name of a VES student in the "Additional info" blank on the order form so that student will get credit for the sale. The VES students earn prizes based on how many bottles they are credited with selling. ALSO -- water bottles will not be here until mid-August. A date and times that bottles can be picked up at VES will be announced in August.
