Hello friends! At 11:06PM on Tuesday, March 19th, winter officially comes to a close! The Sun crosses Earth’s Equator, officially ushering in the Vernal Equinox and official start to spring. The Sun will now spend the next 6 months above Earth’s equator, and we’ll receive more daylight than darkness. And for the next 3 months, the Sun will rise higher in the sky each day. The days will grow longer, as we approach the Summer Solstice in late June. So, we’ve officially made it to the last season of the 2023-2024 school year. Great job to students and faculty alike! And for more exciting tips like this, please sign up for a future Astronomy class in the Planetarium.
Attention Astronomy Club: Our St. Francis field trip was one for the ages!
Let’s keep that science sizzle going as we ramp up for our two end-of-year
field trips. Our next meeting will be this Thursday, March 21st in the Planetarium from 2:50-3:20PM after school. You will receive permission slips for our solar eclipse field trip to Fort Roberdeau on the afternoon of Monday, April 8th. Remember, don’t look at the Sun without certified eclipse filters. It will sizzle your eyeballs. Hope to see you there!
Attention students: The Black Student Union will be holding an interest meeting on Tuesday, March 26th in Mrs. Stephen’s room, A229, right after school at 2:50 PM. The Black Student Union is a club that was organized and started by students in 2020 to bring AAHS minority and African American students together as a group. The club’s mission is to increase acceptance of those who are diverse in the school, celebrate history, culture, and inclusion while educating and giving back to the school and community in a positive way. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please consider joining the Black Student Union in A229 after school on Tuesday, March 26th.
