“It’s important for students to experience these historical events and even more special when they can do it together,” Macias said.
In the months leading up to the eclipse, students competed to design a t-shirt, and the winning design was worn by all students pre-k through eighth grade on April 8. Students also enjoyed eclipse cookies from Duke’s Bakery and posed for an all-school picture before the eclipse at 2 p.m.
“They’ll remember this for the rest of their lives,” Macias added.
