My Project

Help give our whole school a safe solar eclipse viewing! Where we live we are not in the path of totality, but the peak of our partial eclipse is right at our dismissal time.

We will we sending 500 students out our doors and would love to give them all an experience of a lifetime!

Not only would this be a great experience for them, but also the glasses would help them have a safe experience. For our students to see a solar eclipse also our literacy units a reality!
