š Message from the Principal š
As you may already know, there will be a solar eclipse on Monday with the best viewing time happening between 10:40am-11:10am. The next total solar eclipse that will be visible from the U.S. will be on August 232, 2044, hence all the excitement about it. The Advisory slides on Monday will have more information about the eclipse, including the importance of not looking directly at it. You will also get an opportunity to make a pinhole camera so you can safely watch the eclipse. But as we look forward to seeing the spectacle of a solar eclipse on Monday, I couldn't help but think of how the eclipse draws parallels to the journey of education. Think about it like this: just as the moon covers the sun for a bit, education covers up confusion and shines light on knowledge. Let this cool event serve as a reminder of the power of learningāto eclipse barriers, ignite curiosity, and illuminate pathways to a brighter future.
This is the last week before Progress Reports come out next Friday. What are you doing to ensure your grades are on point? Do not wait until the day before grades come out! Look at your missing assignments and work on completing them. Go speak with your teacher if you're struggling in a class and need some tutoring or support. Attend after-school tutoring and/or Saturday Academy. You got this, Vikings!
Music Monday returns tomorrow! Will your advisory class be the third caller?!?!? š¶
Let's make it a great week, Vikings! š
