On April 8, staff and students of Clague Middle School were able to see the total solar eclipse that the whole country was raving about. Total solar eclipses happen at least 2 – 4 times a year, the next time they will happen in Michigan is in 75 years! Ann Arbor had a totality rate of 98.7 %. Students were flooding out of the building to see this once-in-a-lifetime event; let’s have a recap of what happened
