Monday, Aug. 21, will be the first time in 99 years that a total solar eclipse will cross the nation coast-to-coast. The moon will pass between the sun and Earth, fully or partially blocking the sun, making it look like early evening in the middle of the day. In Florida, the solar eclipse will be at about 85 percent totality, which means the moon will almost completely cover the sun. Some scientists have said this won’t happen again in Florida until 2045! People of all ages around the country are making plans to experience this rare event.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back our returning students and welcome all new students to our Alee Academy family. We are ready to hit the ground running this school year.
