  • Eclipse-Viewing Glasses Distribution

    WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM OUR PARTNER SCHMIDT ASSOCIATES, THE WAYNE TOWNSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION PROVIDED FREE ECLIPSE-VIEWING GLASSES FOR MSD OF WAYNE TOWNSHIP STUDENTS, GUARDIANS, AND STAFF, AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. 35,000 ECLIPSE GLASSES WERE DISTRIBUTED, ALONG WITH EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS THAT SUPPORTED THE METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT OF WAYNE TOWNSHIP'S ECLIPSE CURRICULUM EFFORTS. INDIANAPOLIS WAS IN THE PATH OF TOTALITY, AND WITH THE EXPECTED TRAFFIC AND TIMING OF THE SCHOOL DAY, SCHOOL WAS NOT IN SESSION ON APRIL 8, 2024. INDIANA WILL NOT SEE ANOTHER TOTAL ECLIPSE UNTIL 2099, SO THIS WAS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THE WAYNE TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY.
