Solar Eclipse 2017 

E. B. Stanley Middle School's faculty, staff and students took advantage of the rare cosmic event on Monday, August 21 by watching the skies darken and the temperatures drop for the first total eclipse in the U. S. in decades. While the eclipse was only partial locally, it was still an impressive sight. Safety was top priority as school was dismissed thirty minutes later than usual and each viewer was provided with approved solar eclipes eyeglasses.

The essay contest is a key component of the league’s civic education programming, which seeks to teach schoolchildren and adults how local government works and how they can become more involved in making their communities better places to live, work and play.
