The Van ISD Education Foundation surprised our amazing educators with Grants for Great Ideas to wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week!
In total, 31 grants were awarded, totaling $122,121.65, directly supporting creative and impactful classroom projects designed by our outstanding educators. From hands-on science experiments to cutting-edge technology and engaging literacy initiatives, these grants will bring fresh opportunities to students across every Van ISD campus.
The surprise visits—complete with cheers, celebration, and a few happy tears—highlighted the dedication and passion our teachers pour into their classrooms each day. The joy on their faces reflected the excitement of turning bold ideas into reality for their students.
There’s no better way to wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week than by investing in the very people who inspire, innovate, and ignite learning across our district. Thank you to the Van ISD Education Foundation and to our community of donors for making this unforgettable day possible!
