Van ISD Parents,
We regret to inform you that one of our Van ISD families lost their home to a fire last weekend. This family has students on three of our campuses. To help them during this difficult time, we are organizing a "hat day" for this Friday, April 19th. 🧢👒🎩
🤝 Students and staff can wear their favorite hat to school on Friday for a $1 donation. If you wish to make a larger donation, please contact Van High School. Please turn all in all donations to your child's campus.
We appreciate your generosity!
