WATCHING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE Staff and teachers came out to watch the solar eclipse 8-21-2017.  Mrs. Biggie brought two pairs of solar eclipse glasses for everyone to use and many people gave them a try.  About 60% of the sun was obscured by the moon at 2:40 pm on Monday. It was a slow moving eclipse which meant that lots of people got to try on the glasses and be impressed by the phenomenon.
This picture shows the weird light outside during the peak point of the eclipse.
