Even though Cheatham County Schools will not be in session on Aug. 21 for the once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse, the district is embracing this science phenomenon with excitement in the classroom leading up to the big event.

During the morning meeting at East Cheatham Elementary School on Monday, fourth-graders gave an overview of the eclipse.
​
In the classrooms, various activities highlighting the eclipse took place.

During the first week of school, ECES teachers participated in a contest. They were asked to submit a quote about the eclipse and tie in the fact that ECES is a Leader in Me school. 

The winning quote came from fourth-grade language arts teacher Melissa Adams Jones, who received a gift basket filled with moon pies and Sundrop. The quote is on the school’s marquee.

Students will be participating in a contest this week.

Students in grades 2-4 will create an acrostic poem using the words solar eclipse.

Students in grades Pre-K-1 will write a sentence or draw a picture telling about someone they think shines as bright as the sun and why.

The student winners will be announced on Friday, which is a Black Out Day. All students and teachers will wear black in preparation for Monday’s eclipse.
