coming april 8th!!!

We have an exciting educational opportunity that will be taking place on April 8th of this year -- the viewing of the Great North American Eclipse.

On this day, a rare astronomical event will occur, providing a unique learning experience for our students. The eclipse is an excellent opportunity for students to engage with science, astronomy, and the natural world. Many of our teachers will be incorporating this event into their lesson plans to enhance the educational experience for all students.

The safety of our students is our top priority; we will take all necessary precautions to ensure that the eclipse viewing is conducted in a safe and supervised manner. Protective eyewear is being donated for each student by the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.

We believe that this event will be a valuable and memorable learning experience for our students, and we encourage you to discuss it with your child. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you wish for your child to not participate, please let us know.
