👟 We need MORE SHOES! 👟

Solomon High School Future Business Leaders of America has officially started our goal of going ALL the way around the school block with donated shoes—and we need your help to get there!

Clean out those closets and send in your gently used shoes! Every pair makes a difference 💪

📍 Drop off at the Solomon School Main Office
📚 Send with a student to school
🏡 Or email Mrs. Livingston at rlivingston@usd393.net to schedule a porch pick-up in Solomon, Abilene or Salina.

Let’s come together and make an impact—locally and globally! 🌍

Successful day of golf for Solomon. The players endured the weather and had some success. Justus Nordgren had a PR of 100. Breken Coup had his season best and set a new Solomon record for the Hillsboro course with an 83. The score also landed him a 4th place finish.
