Hey Neighbors!
What a surprise with the storm mid-week, from rain to sleet Wednesday and then snow overnight to Thursday, the forecasts were difficult to predict and honestly a little all over the place. Expect highs in the 50s and 60s next week for quite the contrast!
Mark your calendars for the exciting upcoming Solar Eclipse this coming Monday, April 8th, with Sharon Springs being just outside of the Path of Totality. SSCS will be closed to allow students to safely view the event and the school is passing out special eclipse glasses to students prior. Remember, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), “There is only one safe way to look directly at the sun, whether during an eclipse or not: through special-purpose solar filters. These solar filters are used in eclipse glasses or in hand-held solar viewers. They must meet a very specific worldwide standard known as ISO 12312-2,” according to the AAO’s website.
