Solar Eclipse
😎 Ms. Templeton has an announcement!
The eclipse is coming April 8th, and while the eclipse begins around dismissal time with totality beginning closer to 3:30, each student will be sent home with a pair of ISO12312-2 certified eclipse glasses. In Wiscasset, the moon will only obscure 97% of the sun and it will never be safe to remove glasses while looking at the Sun.
