We are so excited to experience the power of the total solar eclipse this Monday!  We will not, however, be outside attempting to view the eclipse, risking keeping the children's eyes covered or using homemade viewing devices.   We did not think it wise to  order safety viewing glasses, either. I will ask staff to move the children inside for lunch beginning at 11:30am, followed by our normal rest time.  We will not return outside with the children until 3:00pm Monday. Here is the time table for the eclipse in Austin: 11:41 am Mon, Aug 21 Partial Eclipse begins The Moon...

Many of you are probably aware of a fire that occurred in a Leander mobile home neighborhood last week.  The family lost their home along with all the contents in the fire including their 7 month old child.  One of our school families, the Kecskes family, asked that I share this with the Good Earth community.  Their oldest child, Peter, attends school with one of the siblings of this family.  His class is very sad as they have been told of the family's loss of home.  Peter wishes he could give his savings to help the family.  If you would like to help this family out, a Go Fund Me page has been...
