What a cool experience today! Here are just a few pictures of our solar eclipse viewing today.







Yesterday our students were treated to an assembly put on by Mr. Nick from Storm Science. He talked about different aspects of weather, including lightning and tornados. The highlight of the assembly was the big "explosion" at the end. We want to thank our PTO for providing this assembly for our students, and Mrs. Heaver for organizing it! It was educational, as well as fun!
