Welcome back from Spring Break! How exciting to run into your twin at school!


On Monday, April 8th, a solar eclipse will occur between 2:00 pm and 4:30 pm. While we won't experience totality, we'll witness an impressive 95% coverage!
Before Monday, please discuss the eclipse and the importance of eye safety with your child. Emphasize that they should never look directly at the sun without proper protection, even for a brief moment. Together, we can ensure a safe and educational experience for everyone as we learn about this awe-inspiring event.
