On Line With ISVI
By Reggie Clinton - Superintendent ISVI
This past weekend, ISVI hosted a Braille Car Rally here on our campus. It was an opportunity for our students to interact with community members in a fun way. Sixteen (16) community members volunteered to drive in the car rally which was held on Saturday, October 3, 2009. Each driver was paired with a student from ISVI who acted as the navigator for the rally. Some cars also had a student rider who wanted to enjoy the event. The student navigators were given materials in their reading medium to provide directions to their driver. The course consisted of 40 miles of in town and country road driving. The starting and finish lines were on ISVI’s campus and there were two check points on the course. The day started out with a driver sign-in and a lunch for the students to meet and greet their drivers. Once everyone was ready cars were sent out on the road course. Upon completion of the rally medals were given to those finishing 1st through 3rd and a cook-out was held. It was a fun day for everyone involved! Thank you to all who were involved in planning this activity! This coming Friday, October 9, 2009, ISVI will be hosting on our campus the annual Regional Office of Education Teachers’ Institute Day. ISVI staff will be joined by teachers and administrators from eight (8) neighboring school districts for a day of in-service activities. We are excited to be hosting this event as most who will be attending have never been to our campus. This is a great way for us to share our school with many other professionals from the surrounding area. Every new person we can inform about our school is another person who may help us identify students who need our services. We look forward to hosting this activity and sharing our school with those attending the in-service. |
