SOLON SALUTES

From Kianna Bromley: A big Solon Salute goes out to all the Community Partners who worked alongside MHS students this semester as a part of the Community Based Learning program! 

From Kianna Bromley: A Solon Salute goes to Juna Nagle for her semester-long work as the choreographer of the MSMS Musical. Her work was critical to the success of the production!

From Kianna Bromley: A HUGE thank you and Solon Salute to all the MHS Students who volunteered their time to support the MSMS Drama Club production of Spamalot! This includes the tremendous amount of time and work of our tech team: Charlie Wallich, Cody Smith, and Jules Caserta as well as all the backstage and green room help from Maia Smith, Juna Nagle, Edie Donofrio, Warren Cossett, Ella Darcy, Coyah Mosher, Scarlett Davis, and Maria Lovelette. 

From Marijke Russo, MHS Debate Coach: A big Solon Salute goes to our MHS Debate Team! After two tournaments, where MHS/U32  team members were adjusting to new roles and partners, their hard work paid off. At this Saturday's tournament at U32, Violet Tobacco and Sonya Sagan-Dworsky won first overall team award, Neil Rohan and Kyle Humke were third, and Ania Kehne and Noam Hessler were fifth. As individual speakers, Neil Rohan was first, Violet Tabacco was third, Noam Hessler was fourth, Sonya Sagan Dworsky was fifth, and Kayl Humke was seventh out of 48 competitors. We thank Hunger Mountain Coop, Shaws, Price Chopper and 802 Coffee for their generous donations, the citizen judges who dedicated their time and U32 high school for hosting the tournament.

Another Solon Salute goes out to our MHS Unified Bowling team and staff who made this annual event better than ever!
