Good Afternoon Swansfield,
The 3rd quarter has come to an end with Thursday being the first day of the 4th quarter. We kicked off the week with the viewing of the solar eclipse. Students and staff loved the experience as all students and staff spent time outside viewing the eclipse. Thank you to our PTA for providing our students and staff with glasses.
Our school team is collecting all of the solar eclipse glasses and we plan to donate them to a company based in Utah. The glasses will be sent to students in Latin America to view their solar eclipse in late August. Feel free to send in your glasses if you would like to donate them. We ask that glasses are sent in by Friday, April 26th.
Have a great weekend! ~ Anthony J Esposito, Principal
