![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)

Volleyball raises money for fight against breast cancer during Dig Pink event
The Girls Varsity volleyball team hosted Academy of Holy Angels for their Dig Pink game on Oct. 17. “It’s an amazing event because volleyball teams all over the country do [Dig Pink], and we are able to raise a ton of money and support a great cause,” senior volleyball captain Emily Dieperink said.
On Oct. 17, the Girls Varsity Volleyball team hosted their annual Dig Pink event during their game against Academy of Holy Angels. GVV fell 0 sets to 3 against AHA in a hard fought game. Dig Pink is an event with the goal of raising money for the fight against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness month. The team sold Dig Pink t-shirts during lunch periods, and during the game parents sold shirts and refreshments to raise money for the cause. Admission to the game was free, but donations were accepted. GVV raised $2400, but minus the cost of the t-shirts they sold, they had $1300 to donate.
“It’s an amazing event because volleyball teams all over the country do [Dig Pink], and we are able to raise a ton of money and support a great cause. It’s also just a really fun event,” senior volleyball captain Emily Dieperink said.

[After recovery,] it’s almost like ‘Okay, you actually can move your body now. Lets move it.’ So being able to build up my strength again motivates me, senior Delaney Devine said. Devine is in another injury at the moment, but she hope to get back into boxing once she recovers.
