Solar Eclipse Coming August 21st
The information seems to be everywhere, but we just cannot get enough because it is so exciting!!! On August 21st, we will experience a total solar eclipse! Since this is a school day, Bryan Middle is working very hard to make this historic event memorable for our kids and staff! Safety is our first concern so we are providing approved eye protection for viewing. Our Science dept. is coordinating the details and we are all excitedly awaiting the day! If you would like information regarding this eclipse, here are a few options:
1. St. Charles City-County Library (you will need a SCC library card to view)

What am I Reading?
Two young girls, Libby and May, are best friends. Together, they create a comic figure who they name Princess X. Sadly, Libby dies in a tragic car accident. Clearly, that is the end of Princess X. Or is it? Three years after the accident, images of Princess X begin to appear throughout the community. Coincidence? Or was the fatal accident not truly the end for Libby? May knows it seems impossible but she must get to the bottom of this! Read Cherie Priest's novel to discover the truth!
Sphero
For many of us, the thought of trying to write computer code is scary. For our kids, more often than not, it is exciting! Our students have grown up with technology and they are eager and able to work with new technology. In the Bryan Learning Commons, technology is welcome! We have 2 Sphero robots that are easily programmed by young people (and also older people! lol). Throughout the year, our Spheros will be available in the LC so our students can try their hand at programming. Expect pictures! #technologyisfun
