My Project

Students in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade will benefit from being able to safely view the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 using these glasses.

The goal of this project is to bring the love of learning and a real world scientific event into "view" for all of our amazing learners.

As members of a title I school we cater to a variety of diverse learning styles, but one thing that all of our learners have in common is the positive response that they have to hands on learning experiences. With your help, we will be able to provide an amazing, hands on science based learning experience for all students at our school.
