Due to the generosity of the Knights of Columbus, Van Buren is able to offer students the Backpack Buddy Program. We understand that not all of our students are able to have all of their needs met without a little help, and we are here for you. With our backpack program, we are able to discreetly provide children nonperishable food for their weekends home. The food is sent home every Friday with your students. If you feel as though you need assistance from our backpack program please contact Mrs. McDonald at (409)962-6511.

During our classroom lessons, we will also teach your student(s) about Social Emotional Learning.

These skills are not only vitally important for children but adults as well. Please take a look at some of the links below to learn more about Social Emotional Learning.
