Monday's forecast: 100% chance of no school! We hope you enjoy the long weekend as we experience a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8. Did you know a total solar eclipse, like the one on April 8th, only occurs in a given location on Earth roughly once every 300 to 400 years? The rarity of this event means that this could be our one and only chance to witness the day turn to night as the moon casts its shadow across the Earth.

Talk about real world! Our Graphic and Media Arts students had the opportunity to tour Roto Design & Engineering Studios this week.

Students were also given the unique experience to test and provide feedback on some of Roto’s current projects, like an interactive video and a wind-sail interactive exhibit.
