Cloudy Eclipse 2024
Overall Thoughts
Our overall thoughts after discussing in class on the Solar Eclipse are that we thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for many people, but a tad underwhelming due to the fact that it was cloudy. The fact that many experts predicted the exact time when it would get dark out and when it would get cold, and when the sunlight would come back was pretty spectacular, because as many know our weathermen are definitely not always the most accurate people, some consider them guesses.
Expectations vs reality of the solar eclipse
The expectation of the solar eclipse was that we would be able to see everything and there would be no problems. But if you were watching it, you would know that this was not the case. People were expecting to see the sun, but it was covered by clouds here in Buffalo and other areas. I heard there were supposed to be a ton of people in Buffalo, but I didn't notice an increase of people or any chaos. The reality was that it was overhyped, and people were over their heads with this event.
International Women's Month
The Web Design & Social Media Marketing Class interviewed the women at Timon who make a difference every single day. Below are their social media posts from the interviews.
Jaiden Harrison currently needs 38 points to break WNY all-time leading scorer. He recently passed his coach Jason Rowe along the way.

Advice for Underclassmen:
Coming into Timon a lot of the underclassmen are not sure what to expect. Some may not have a lot of friends; some may have many, some might play sports, and some might not play any at all. Some advice some of us seniors give to the underclassmen is to be social and make as many friends as possible early on. Make sure to get your work done, it will matter later. Wear the uniform and be in the dress code. Nobody wants detention! One of the bigger ones that we try to stress to underclassmen is to get to all the sports games. Especially football, hockey, and basketball. It’s a good way to be social, have fun, and make a bunch of new friends. It’s also just as important to come together as a grade and make friends with the older grades. It’s hard to stress how much the Timon Brotherhood matters to this school. So, try your best to make this possible.
Senior advice for underclassmen:
· Be social
· Get your work done
· Wear the uniform
· Show up to games and events
· Find friend groups
· Come together as a grade
· Make friends with everyone
