6th Grade's Solar Eclipse!

Help me give my students the opportunity to view the Solar Eclipse in April!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lydon's classroom raised $228

This project is fully funded

My Project

April 8th 2024 will begin as most school days do for our 6th grade students: breakfast, advisory, ELA, Math, Science, and Writing all before they go home for the end of the day. But, with your help this day can also be the first time my students have seen a Solar Eclipse!

To safely view the solar eclipse I am looking to be able to give all 6th graders their very own pair of Eclipse glasses.

This will allow for the students to not only view the eclipse at school but bring their glasses home and share what they have learned with their greater community.
