SOARING HIGH WITH INNIS EAGLES

Vision is defined as the act of or state of being able to see, the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom, unusual discernment or foresight, used to provide insight into the future. Use this Week to reflect on your current vision or future vision. Create a visual vision board with future goals you wish to achieve. This could include travel, jobs, relaxation, losing weight, dating, changing old habits to new habits, taking that bubble bath, exercise classes, new skill levels, classes, laughing more, having more fun, or taking a nap. Some basic steps to help you get started: determine the goals/vision you wish to achieve; figure out where you will put it; determine whether it will be digital or print board or created on poster board; gather your materials needed; make your board and update it annually.

As we enter into the winter season, it is important to remember to make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. We do have outdoor recess daily during the day and each child is required to participate. We are finding many students without proper coats, hats, gloves, and socks. Help us to keep your child healthy during this winter season. If you are in need of a new coat or new shoes, please check out the information and form information listed below pertaining to how you can obtain new shoes and coats for your child at Innis Elementary. Feel free to contact us at (614) 365-5462 if you have any questions.
