![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)

Walk a day in our shoes
Every day starts with feet on the ground, then sliding toes and heels into shoes. As students walk the halls, their shoes not only take every step with them but might say something about their comfort level or style.
The shoes worn are purchased for a number of reasons: sometimes because the wearer needs new shoes for the place they are, sometimes because of family influence, or sometimes because a classic must be replaced.
In the end, shoes are the foundation of any day.

![UM-TEE-UMP. Students engage in a game of Blooket at the University of Minnesota UMTYMP program. Weekly classes consist of an hour of lectures and an hour of small-group work. My favorite part is the workshop because it’s [with] the same group every time, so you really get to know the kids in your group, freshman Zack Berchenko said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_9555-e1710250818524-600x400.jpg)
