On April 8, John Street School commemorated the solar eclipse with special-themed activities. Students participated in six stations where they either created a craft or participated in an activity related to the eclipse.

Station One was a paper simulation representing how the Earth revolves around the sun and how the moon revolves around the Earth; Station Two was a paper fortune teller craft with facts about solar eclipses; Station Three was a chalk corona; Station Four was a sorting and safety simulation where students were able to use a yardstick, flashlight and Styrofoam balls to simulate Earth, sun and moon, and also sort safety terms and match relevant vocabulary words; Station Five was a pinhole projector; and Station Six was going outside to view the eclipse through either the pinole projector or the district-provided glasses.
