A Solon Salute to MHS for the good work while we had no internet last Wednesday afternoon too. Here are some photos shared on Ms. Monmaney's Instagram during that time.

A Solon Salute to The MHS jazz combo Red Clay. This group auditioned and earned the opportunity to participate in the Vermont Jazz Center's Emerging Artist Festival on November 3rd in Brattleboro. They were the only high school combo in a two-day lineup of collegiate and professional ensembles. MHS students included Eleanor Braun, Grace Carlomagno, Mary Margaret Page, Evan Rohan, Neil Rohan, and Charlie Watson. This was a neat day for the MHS students. They got to participate in a professional jazz festival and saw students not much older than themselves pursuing jazz as part of their college experience.

A Solon Salute to the students who represented MHS at the 2nd Annual Youth Climate Leaders Academy in Fairlee, VT. We are very proud of this crew. They had a lot of fun over the 2 days, but also learned and did a TON of work. They did a great job. Thank you Saskia, Apollonia, Maple, Ben, Lila, Violet, and Carmen!

A Solon Salute to Izzy Davis, Marshall Donahue, Jack Lever, Destiney Roberts, Cammi Raymond, and David Lovelette for their help in serving the annual UES Thanksgiving Dinner this week. Well done and thank you!

A Solon Salute and thank you to all the Club Action members who went door to door many times throughout the last six weeks encouraging people to vote and registering new voters. Hope Petraro put an incredible amount of time and energy into these efforts and was joined by Nadia Scoppettone, Eliana Moorhead, Callie Dalley, Gavin Corbett-Valade, Leyla Khasiyeva, Lila Markow, Apollonia Tobacco, Loren Stephens, Mae Browning, Alex Smart, Maryann Songhurst, Vega Rodriguez Sanchez, Mikaela Luke-Currier, Savvy Winston, and Libby Peterson. Thank you all for working to strengthen our democracy!

A Solon Salute to our student leaders who led another edition of The Conversation this past week. Their leadership takes on rape culture and is open to all students during Solon Block several times throughout the year.

A Solon Salute to Destiny Roberts, who hand crafted 4 plyometric boxes for Solon Strength and the PE department. As part of her Independent Woodworking class, Destiny has also built a bench that will be used as a prop in the musical, "Once on This Island." Thank you Destiny for your hard work and craftsmanship.

A Solon Salute to Jordan Allen-Brandon, Callie-Lyn Dalley, Emma Harter, Nadia Scoppettone and Alex Smart, who participated in a panel about how to engage youth in policy decisions at The Voices for Vermont’s Children conference in Stowe this week. Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights!
