A Solon Salute and Congratulations to the Class of 2017! On Friday, we celebrated their graduation in the gym with hundreds of family members and friends.

Thank you to all of the staff that make the graduation ceremony possible, with a special thanks to senior advisors Heather McLane and Val Belanger. (Times Argus Article)

A Solon Salute to the Boys' Soccer Team and Coach Bill Basa. On Saturday morning from 8:00am to 12:00pm, 14 boys soccer players and 2 coaches do the VT Food Bank 'Sort-a-thon.' They worked hard and steady for that time. They packed food boxes to supply 720 Seniors for one month and over 600 families for a month. This work is a part of a pilot program with the Helper Helper APP. The boys' soccer team is currently using the a APP to learn about local volunteer opportunities and track the time they spend volunteering in the community. In two different events, the team has logged 84 hours of service.

A Solon Salute to Emma Harter, Nadia Scoppetone, Matt Koucky, and Izzy Maine-Torres for spending a couple of hours tackling invasive species along the bike path when they had a lot of other work to do to finish summatives.
