A Solon Salute to the Unified Snowshoe Team and the Unified Basketball Team. The teams were great in recent competition!
- The snowshoe team finished it's snowy winter season at Pico Mtn. at the Vermont State Unified Snowshoe Competition this past Wednesday. Lots of great fun, medals, ribbons and memories were had by all! Members of the 2018-2019 Unified Snowshoe Team were Bob Powell, Eliana Moorehead, Luke Brassard, Damon Cadwell-Dunham, Kat Pringles, Sophia Robins, Nadia Scoppettone, Curtis Hayden, Apolonia Tabacco and Mae Dunham.
- And, thanks to all who came out to cheer on the Unified Hoopsters this past week at the two home games - the team players, Owen Carswell, Kat Pringles, Aidan Murphy, Grace Murphy, Sophia Robins, Luke Brassard, Yvonne Roberge, Declan DeCarr, Bob Powell, Destiney Roberts, Noah McLane, Damon Cadwell-Dunham and Jack LaPera (Manager) really appreciated the support! Thanks!

A Solon Salute to 9th grade Quinn Fleischer who recently participated in the Vermont USA Gymnastics State Competition. Quinn placed second on floor and fourth on bars. Congratulations Quinn!
A Solon Salute to math teacher Whitney Machnik. She graciously made herself available to come to the middle school on Tuesday from 8:15 - 10:15 to teach two math classes while the teacher and I (Amy Kimball) went and observed two other classrooms and then debriefed what we saw after. This made a big positive difference for us! (Thanks from Amy Kimball)
