A Solon Salute to Roger Medina Ruiz. After expressing an interest in playing lacrosse, Roger quickly stepped up to the plate to put himself in goal after learning the team didn't have a goalie. At first he was skeptical after hearing about how much getting hit with a shot can hurt, but after suiting him up in pads he immediately exceeded any expectations. After two practices he was already getting tremendous praise from the goalie coach seeing shots so early and being able to adapt. (From senior Connor Barrett).

The Debate Team Victorious at District Tournament in Pennsylvania: Two members of the Montpelier High School Debate team, George Huang and Omeed Fallahi, were crowned District Champions on Saturday in Sayre, Pennsylvania. The win gains them entry to the 2017 national tournament to be held this year in Birmingham, Alabama in June. Three other team members, Emily Sheftman, Jackson Markow, and Angus Fraser, won third place medals, all of them one point short of a second place finish that would also have gained them entry to the Nationals. The annual District tournament held at the end of the debate season attracts teams from the entire New England region, including Pennsylvania, all of them seeking a bid to the national tournament. This year's District debate topic focused on the Israeli-Palestine conflict debating the merits of a one-state versus a two-state solution.
