Reminders
Dear Parents,
This year, we were given the opportunity to invite our incoming 5th grade students to participate in the The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Railway to Safety program. We have limited spots available, but if you are interested, please sign up over the weekend.
The deadline to register is Tuesday. If interested, please reach out to your child’s teacher for the registration link. Teachers, please let Mr. Flores know of any students interested, as he will be the chaperone leading this initiative.
UTRGV Railway to Safety is a program that I highly recommend. The program will take place during the second week of June and will last the entire week.
Thank you,
Emily Cortez
Principal, Van Gogh Elementary
