A Solon Salute to all of the city workers who worked quickly in the cold weather to fix the broken water pipe in town. And a Salute to our MHS community for making things work at school during the boil-water days.

A Solon Salute to Davis Hart, whose work with Community Partner Sheriff Sam Hill of the Washington County Sheriff's Department has grown and evolved since his first CBL experience during his freshman year. During this time, Davis has participated in many ride-alongs and court observations. Davis also obtained paid employment within their office over the past summer and potentially this summer as well. These opportunities have opened up because of Davis's ability to form strong professional relationships with everyone he has encountered over the past several years; he has respectfully and wholly pursued each and every connection as a learning opportunity. Davis also works as a Tobacco Minor for the Department of Liquor Control (stemming from a CBL placement last year) and is applying to participate in the summer Vermont Law Cadet Program. We salute you, Davis, for seizing these opportunities so fully and earnestly!
