The Solar Eclipse Was a Blast!

Five minutes after dismissal on April 8, 2024, hundreds of students and dozens of staff walked over to Patterson Park to view the solar eclipse. Baltimore was not quite in the Zone of Totality, but it was super cool and eerie. The next solar eclipse will be August 24, 2044 in a little more than 20 years, so our kindergarten students this year will be 25 years old and working or in grad school. Special thanks to the HHA PTO for having the brilliant presence of mind to order 900 solar eclipse glasses for use by students and staff.
