Kindergarten is an exciting time! For the past two weeks, some of our youngest students have been learning more about our community and the people who make it great. The seven kindergarten classes at Van Alstyne Elementary School have been focusing on a project based learning (PBL) on community helpers.

Van Alstyne ISD has once again moved up in the ranking of top school districts in the state on Schooldigger.com.

The 4th Annual Sporting Clays Classic benefitting the Van Alstyne Education Foundation was held on Saturday, October 1.

State Representative John Ratcliffe started a program to allow high school students from the 4th District of Texas to gain a better understanding of the political realm. A total of 86 students from different counties in the 4th District were chosen to participate. The 4th District of Texas encompasses the area north of DFW, including rural parts of Collin County, up along the Red River, and east to the Arkansas border. Representative Ratcliffe has an office in Sherman, along with one in Rockwall and one in Texarkana where the meetings are held in person and via video chat. Twenty two students from Grayson County and four from Van Alstyne High School were selected.

It is homecoming week at Van Alstyne High School!  Students have been participating in homecoming related activities and themed days to help get in the panther spirit.

Thanks to our generous donors and community, VAEF has awarded over $170,000 in Teacher Grants and Senior Scholarships since 2012.
Partner with us to help add to that total and support the students and teachers in our community.
Join us on October 1 for a morning of fun, friends, and clay shooting.
