Solar Power
Dear Willow Springs families,
What a powerful week of learning we had as we all experienced the solar eclipse together along with another week of fun, meaningful and powerful experiences as we all continue to grow and learn together.
Last Monday was such a memorable experience for us as we went outside and experienced the solar eclipse together. It was a very moving experience that will live in our memories for a long time. We hope you enjoy the time-lapse photos of us trying to take a selfie with our eclipse glasses on!
We hope to have more photos and maybe even a solar eclipse video to share with you soon. Stay tuned to find out more!
The week ahead promises to keep us busy with both the Fairfax Pyramid Art Show and PURPLE UP Day on Wednesday, SOL IRW testing for 5th graders on Thursday and Minion Spirit Day on Friday.
Thank you for sending us your best every day! #Willow Pride
Dylan Taylor, Principal
