A NEW YORK TEACHER WHO TOLD HIS STUDENTS IN 1978 TO "SAVE THE DATE FOR THE 2024 ECLIPSE" WAS SURPRISED TO SEE 100 OF HIS FORMER STUDENTS SHOW UP AT HIS HOME TO WATCH THE ECLIPSE. (PHOTOS).


 A New York teacher that told his students to "save the date for the 2024 eclipse" way back in 1978, was surprised to see 100 of his former students show up at his home to watch the eclipse! 


Back in 1978 Patrick Moriarty was a science teacher in Rochester, New York. During a lesson he told his students about an eclipse that was still almost 50 years in the future. Patrick told the students to "circle April 8th 2024 on their calendar so they could all meet up and watch it together". 


Moriarty says they looked at him like he was crazy back then, so he was completely blind sided by what happened on Monday! 


On the day of the eclipse, Patrick was overjoyed when some of his former Spry Junior High School students showed up at his home. It had been 46 years since he was their science teacher! 


The crowd began to trickle in carrying lawn chairs and refreshments. By the time of the eclipse, 100 former students had shown up to enjoy the eclipse with their teacher.


Patrick says the moment was about more than what happened in the sky and stated it highlights the impact teachers can have in the lives of their students.


It certainly does. This is such a wonderful story.
