My Project

On April 8th, 2024 there will be a solar eclipse during school hours! This gives educators a unique opportunity to show their students the workings of our solar system in real time.

Please help my students experience this rare celestial event!

As the media specialist, I have the pleasure of teaching every student in the school. I want to build a lesson around this special event using the books requested for read alouds in my media center. The safety glasses will allow all students to view this impressive event safely.

Thank you for your consideration and support of my students!
