My Project

On April 8th, 2024 the Solar Eclipse will be visible during school hours. As a fun learning experience, we are hoping to supply a pair of special Solar Eclipse glasses to each student at our school in order for them to see it for themselves. During the day, each class will take the time to learn about the Solar Eclipse and its significance. Then, around dismissal time, we will take the students outside to see it for themselves!

Our goal is to be able to foster a fun learning experience for all of our elementary school students on April 8th.

We hope you can assist in helping us achieve our goal!
