A Solon Salute to Noel Riby-Williams for taking the time to prepare an excellent presentation about her travels in Ghana and then giving up two free periods to share her presentation with the Global Issues and Perspectives classes. It was so fun to hear her stories and to get a feel for what life in Ghana is like. We really appreciate Noel's generosity and ability to engage and teach us. (From Ms. McLane).
A Solon Salute to Former Instructional Assistant and MHS Parent Alumni Jane Edwards who has contributed a great deal to helping those who are in need of additional attention.

A big salute for her big heart and all of what she means here. (From Mr. Chater and all of us).
