With the Northern Virginia suburbs getting about 85% coverage in the 2024 Solar Eclipse, our students loved being able to view the exciting phenomenon after school on Monday!
In preparation for the eclipse, the 8th grade class built their own pinhole cameras in science class and tested them for observation of the eclipse!
