Godley ISD students shared in the incredible phenomenon of a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.

The day was filled with lessons and activities centered around the eclipse.  “Godley ISD is excited to make the total solar eclipse an unforgettable experience for our students with engaging instructional activities,” commented Superintendent Dr. Rich Dear.  

Campuses also provided eclipse glasses to all students for this once-in-a-lifetime event.  Many were donated by organizations and elementary PTOs.

“A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the sun,” according to NASA.  “People located in the center of the Moon’s shadow when it hits Earth will experience a total eclipse. The sky will darken, as if it were dawn or dusk. Weather permitting, people in the path of a total solar eclipse can see the sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere, which is otherwise usually obscured by the bright face of the sun.”
