Solomon Unified School District 393

What a finale to Read Across America Week! 📚
We wrapped up the celebration with a schoolwide assembly where our bookmark contest winners were announced… and then came the big reveal.
All week long, students had been buzzing about the mystery readers behind the masks — and today they finally found out. We recorded teachers Regan and Sydney, along with student advocates Tina and Arlene, reading a story while completely disguised. It was the talk of the building and such a fun way to keep our readers guessing.
Solomon is home to some truly AMAZING staff who step out of their comfort zones and help create moments that feel magical for our students.
So go ahead — pick up a book and see what adventures you might find yourself in next.

McKenzie has been an involved student, even playing football in junior high. She joined Wrestling when the program opened up and fell in love with it. She went to state two years in a row - an incredible accomplishment! She shouts out teachers Sarah Houser, Kjell Nordgren, and Erick Underwood. Houser was her first teacher at Solomon and really took her out of her shell. Through classes like yearbook, she fell in love with sports photography. She is seeking a degree in sports media and promotion and will attend Newman University in Wichita in the fall. We're thankful to her internship in Senior 101 with the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, where she shadows the marketing team at Visit Salina. Thank you for supporting our students!You continue to set the bar high, McKenzie! We wish you the best in your future success   #393legacypodcast #solomongorillas #seniorspotlight
