A Solon Salute to Lily Fournier and Ian Keene, for their recent appointments by the Montpelier City Council, to seats on the city's Historic Preservation Committee and the Conservation Committee respectively. Their appointments through the new Solons on Boards initiative demonstrates their growing interest in taking part in the democratic processes of our government. Nice work, Lily and Ian.
A Solon Salute to poet Lizzy Fox. In collaboration with the Montpelier High School Wellness Initiative and through the generous support of a Vermont Arts Council Artist in Schools grant, she joined Julie Morton's and John Bate's English 9 classes right before break. She taught poetry as a means of exploring sensory language and observing the present moment. They also practiced reading their poetry aloud. Thanks Lizzy!
