WSD Community Experiences Total Solar Eclipse
On August 21, 2017, students, staff and families in the WSD had an amazing opportunity to experience a Total Solar Eclipse. The entire District was in the Path of Totality and every student and staff member received certified, custom-made eclipse glasses with art designed by WSD students in order to safely view the historic show. The District planned for over a year how to make this once-in-a-lifetime event a unique learning experience for students. The Missouri Education Commissioner, Dr. Margie Vandeven, even came out to Peine Ridge Elementary to experience the eclipse with WSD students and families.
