This is a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, April 8, due to the total solar eclipse. School will resume on Tuesday, April 9th.
For your safety during this event, the Holmes County Emergency Management Agency has provided some important tips:
1. Protect your eyes! Never look directly at the solar eclipse without proper safety eyeglasses specifically designed for this purpose. Regular sunglasses won't suffice.
2. Be prepared for potential traffic congestion in Holmes County. Plan your travels accordingly.
3. Expect darkness during the eclipse. Ensure you wear visible clothing and carry a flashlight.
4. For your safety, it's advisable to limit biking during the eclipse due to low visibility. If you must bike, ensure your bike has working lights and wear a safety vest. Always wear a helmet.
Let's all enjoy this event safely!
