My Project

The solar eclipse will be moving over Independence on April 8th! We are excited to be able to use this solar event as a school-wide opportunity for learning! We are determined to make this a learning experience where students can go outside and view the solar eclipse happening in real life. To prevent students from having their vision damaged, these eclipse glasses will be essential in viewing the changing skies on the day of the eclipse.

We need to have safe solar eclipse glasses for our entire high school!

Please consider donating to help this event become a reality and a memorable event for a lifetime!

Grades 9-12
