​​Grab your sunglasses; on April 8th, there will be a total solar eclipse.

The eclipse is going to be visible across all of North America.

According to NASA, it should last exactly four minutes and 28 seconds.

It should first be visible at 12:32 p.m. and end around 3:04 p.m. It should be in complete totality at 1:48 p.m.

The best places to view the eclipse in Kansas include Lawrence, Osage City, Topeka, Olathe, and Salina.

Students and staff will be provided with glasses and will go outside to view the eclipse during block nine.

This is definitely something you don’t want to miss; the next total solar eclipse will take place on August 23rd, 2044.

“There are not very many of these in a person’s lifetime. The next one is 20 years away. I think its a neat experience for them (students). I hope as a school we can take it back into something and have a really good discussion,” principal Gretchen Pontious said.

“I hope it makes some of those good memories, and its a learning experience too,”
