SOLON AWESOMENESS!
- Sienna Mills, a member of our varsity girls soccer team has been nominated for the Burlington Free Press Player of the Week! You can go vote for her HERE! Go Sienna!
- Mrs. Sue Monmaney wants to give a big shout out! "I am so thankful for help this past Friday and earlier this year from these wonderful people: Myleigh Modun, Isabel Maine-Torres, Arthur Kadlec, Alvi Reed, Erin Kelley, and Brigitte Savard. After this summer's sprucing up of the library (having the beautiful carpet installed and a fresh coat of paint on the walls), there was still a lot to do to get the library ready for school. Thanks to these amazing helpers, all of the boxed up books are back on the shelves, and we will soon have a number of discarded books available to anyone who wants them--stay tuned!"

- Seniors (and parents and guardians): This is to let you know that each senior at MHS has been pre-booked for a Solon Block in the library on Sept. 23,24, or 26 to discuss and receive materials regarding next steps in the college application process. If you have specific questions about your individual situation (whether college-related or not!) please always feel free to contact your counselor.
