2018-19: Week 4

A Solon Salute to the Boys' Soccer Team and our Field Hockey Team who recently did some bake-sale fundraising downtown. Their sales were very successful thanks to the many donations from our community. Special thanks to a very generous donation from a MHS alumni and to Stephanie Pinard for her leadership in this effort.
