Wild About Growth! 🌿🦒
What an incredible way to kick off the 2026–2027 school year!
Van ISD staff gathered for our annual District Convocation with this year's safari-themed focus: Wild About Growth. From the moment the day began, our campuses brought the energy! Staff embraced the theme with khaki, animal prints, and creative costumes as they battled it out in a spirited competition for the coveted Spirit Stick.
🏆 Congratulations to Van High School, who claimed this year's Spirit Stick and earned bragging rights for the 2026–2027 school year!
The fun didn't stop there! We were thrilled to welcome The Creature Teacher, who introduced our staff to some amazing animal friends—including lizards, a kangaroo, and a red tailed BOA that only a few brave adventurers were willing to hold!
A heartfelt thank you to Valley Church for providing lunch for our staff for the 12th consecutive year. Your generosity and faithful support of Van ISD continue to be such a blessing to our district.
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Becky Bristol from The Flower Connection, and the many generous donors who helped make lunch even more special by providing wonderful gifts and prizes for our team. Your kindness and investment in our educators are deeply appreciated.
Finally, a huge thank you to our outstanding Van ISD Curriculum Team for creating another unforgettable convocation. Your hard work, creativity, and encouragement inspired us to begin the year with renewed purpose, excitement, and a shared commitment to helping every student grow.
Here's to a year of learning, leadership, and growth. The adventure begins now!
