The April 8 solar eclipse, which stretched across North America, provided Pierson High and Middle school students the opportunity to see the spectacular event as a community. Immediately after school, students, faculty and parents gathered on the Pierson back field with eclipse viewing glasses in hand. From about 2:50-4:30 p.m., students played outdoor games such as basketball, soccer and frisbee, stopping on occasion to look up and view the eclipse with their glasses. Also available was a live viewing station complete with a telescope that fed to a desktop computer screen, which showed the eclipse clearly without having to look up through the tinted glasses. Food was available for everyone to enjoy and Two Shoes, a band run by two Pierson teachers, played music that featured the occasional student guest appearance. COURTESY SAG HARBOR SCHOOL DISTRICT
