Wait... has anyone seen our eighth graders? We walked into the gym today and found a room full of legends instead! From Leonardo da Vinci to Sally Ride, our students completely "disappeared" into their characters for the annual Living Wax Museum.

This project served to flex their knowledge of research and writing from ELA their ELA lessons. Students were challenged to select a historical figure, write a comprehensive biography, and then bring that person to life for a live audience. We are so proud of the incredible work, detailed costumes, and the "stillness" they displayed during the presentations.

A red and white promotional graphic for Solomon USD 393 celebrating Administrative Professionals Day. The text reads 'Thank You SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS' and features portraits of five staff members: Jennifer Wiese, Mary Johnson, Katie Ontiveroz, Dean Ann Zsamba, and Kelsey Hitchcock. The Solomon Gorillas logo is in the top right corner.

Solomon has always been a town built on hard work, pride, and people who go above and beyond for others. That’s why the Hall of Fame here in Solomon means so much—it’s a way to honor those who’ve truly made a lasting impact on our community.

The committee would love for people to nominate someone who represents the very best of Solomon: a person who consistently shows up, gives back, and makes a difference not for recognition, but because they genuinely care. Whether through years of service, leadership, mentorship, or quiet acts of kindness, their contributions have helped shape the spirit of this school & town.

Recognition like this isn’t just about celebrating the past—it’s about showing future generations what it means to be part of a strong, connected community. Let’s take the time to acknowledge those who’ve helped make Solomon what it is today.

If you know someone who deserves it, don’t hesitate to speak up. Great communities are built by great people—and they deserve to be remembered. Use the link to nominate those deserving Gorilla Family members:

Students made pate choux and vanilla cream. They stuffed the pate choux with pudding to form a pyramid with carmelized sugar and spin it to decorate with fine hairs of sugar! What a tasty way to learn specialized skills. Great job Gorillas 🦍
