We are very thankful of all the organizations and business' that support our students, school, and activities. The donations, advertisements, and sponsors obviously help us by their financial donations, but equally important: they help us to build stronger connections between the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired and the community.  As with every school, budgets are tight and the cost of activities and sports continue to rise.   ISVI is a residential school in which our students are from all over the state.  Unlike our local public schools, the vast majority of our students are not local.   At the same time, our students are integrated throughout Jacksonville and as a result, Jacksonville becomes their 2nd home. From their first day of attendance, our students learn to advocate for themselves and become as independent as possible.  We’re fortunate in that this community embraces all the schools.  This is evident by the

Women's History Month : March

Updated on 11/10/2025

Women’s History Month is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to United States history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women's history milestones stretches back to the founding of the United States.  The actual celebration of Women's History Month grew out of a week long celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978. Presentations were given at dozens of schools, hundreds of students participated in a “Real Woman” essay contest and a parade was held in downtown Santa Rosa.
