The entire Turlock High School student body made its way out to Joe Debeley Stadium Monday morning to watch the eclipse as part of a special educational activity planned by Science teacher Ryan Hollister. Thanks to Hollister’s relationship with Science Friday, a Public Radio International program, he was able to secure 2,600 solar eclipse glasses so that over 2,400 THS students could watch the solar event safely. “This is one of the rarest phenomenon that kids will ever get to experience in their lifetime, so to be able to actually look and it and see it – not just the projection on the ground – hopefully will start an inner flame for the birth of an astronomer today,” said Hollister.
