Help me give my students glasses to watch the upcoming total solar eclipse!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schmitt's classroom raised $967

My Project
On April 8th, 2024, the United States will get an opportunity that does not come around often - the opportunity to observe a total solar eclipse! Many total solar eclipses are only visible from inaccessible locations, such as our Earth's poles. However, the 2024 eclipse will be visible in locations across our country! NASA even predicts that this could be the last widely visible solar eclipse for the next couple of decades.
Help me give every student at my school (kindergarten through 8th grade) solar eclipse glasses so we can observe this marvel together!
Having solar eclipse glasses will allow us to safely come together as a community to share in the total solar eclipse experience. Beyond that, your donation would help get students from ages 5 to 14 excited about science!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
