GOTTA' WEAR SHADES: PREPARED FOR THE ECLIPSE
On August 21, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. Weather permitting, it is estimated that our view of the sun in Lawrence will be more than 99% blocked by the moon at the eclipse maximum (about 1:07 p.m.). Lawrence Public Schools plan to provide safe viewing of the eclipse for students. Thanks to a donation from The University of Kansas, we will provide all students with NASA-approved solar eclipse viewing safety glasses to ensure proper eye protection. (Modeled here by the Leading, Learning and Technology team). Schools will also enable families to opt-out of this activity. To learn more about the eclipse and how you can expand the discussion of this event with your children, please visit NASA's https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/ website.
