A Solon Salute to Club Action and the Diversity Club for helping to host The Race Against Racism. The Race was a big success with a great sized crowd. A special salute to tenth grader Hope Petraro and Ms. McLane for their incredible leadership on this event!

A Solon Salute to the Montpellier HSC
(professional soccer team) in France. This team recently had their their
city's name, "Montpellier", misspelled on their new jerseys. The wrong
spelling "Montpelier" was the right spelling for us. Out
of nowhere they announced they would be sending all of the misspelled
versions to Montpelier Vermont and to our High School. Once we find out
just how many will arrive, members of the high school administration
will meet with leaders in the city and figure how to best utilize the
jerseys, and thank the good people of Montpellier. The story was picked
up by the Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and more. Needless to say,
Montpellier HSC has some new fans!

A Solon Salute to the 13 parents, 10 students (from Masque, Diversity and Debate clubs,) and one intrepid teacher, Jerry Tillotson, who joined us for a marathon envelope stuffing party (5-10 p.m.!)

Thanks, especially, to Carolyn Desch and Elise Annes for their many hours of work preparing the letters and organizing the mailing and to Seth Mitchell for his help with design.
