Solomon Unified School District 393

Our Powerlifting season continued this weekend with a trip to the KEMFA State Powerlifting meet in Claflin.
Solomon students Matt Hamm-Jones and Aidyn Sreap attended with Coach Krause, leaving at 5:30 in the morning, entirely of their choice! They *cleaned* up at the competition too 💪
Aidyn tied for 11th in his weight class for Bench and Clean, matching his PRs.
Matt got 10th in Bench, matching his PR, 7th in Squat, and 2nd in Clean, with a new PR of 295 lbs. Overall, that got him 6th in his weight class.

Great job Gorilla students for challenging yourselves physically and mentally and to Coach Krause for supporting their passions. There is an extracurricular for everyone at Solomon which makes us #solomonproud

What a great way to start the week - with song and music! Come and listen to our talented gorillas and celebrate their hard work at the upcoming Choir & Band concert, Monday, April 20th at 7:00PM.

Congratulations to our 2026 Prom Queen Kilynne and Prom King Matthias!!

What an incredible week of athletics on our campus! Over the past week, we were proud to host three major events, including our powerlifting meet and two track meets, all right here on our amazing facilities. In total, we welcomed 498 athletes from 30 schools. Events like these don’t happen without an amazing support system. We had 58 adult volunteers and 52 student volunteers step up to help make everything run smoothly. We are beyond grateful for each and every volunteer who gave their time and energy. Your dedication makes all the difference, and we couldn’t do it without you. THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this past week a success! We have 2 track meets left if you would like to join in on the fun April 24 & 25th.

Turned out to be a great day for golf at Goessel with 25 groups. Weather stayed away and our players did well. Caylee Cook and Kilynne McCook placed 15th with a 44, A'den Peterson and Matt Hamm-Jones placed 10th with a 42, Cooper Carver and Seth Pekarek placed 5th with a 40.

Solomon art students participated in the 51st annual Fort Hays State University High School Art Day. There were 1,300 participants from all over Kansas and parts of Nebraska this year making it the biggest yet. After setting up the Solomon Art booth students were able to take part in workshops and competitions in the art department with the help of FHSU staff and students.
Caylee C. received 1st, 3rd and 3 certificates
Allie A. received 2nd
Those with winning certificates were Kilynne M, Jayden B, and Etel M

Great job gorillas!
