Mentoring Monday! This week the Bigs and Littles are working on our communication skills. They worked on...
🔴 Written communication, by writing letters to their favorite teachers or elderly community members at the Solomon Senior Center!
🦍 Nonverbal communication, by acting out different emotions without speaking!
🔴 Descriptive communication, by using descriptive words to create a matching image without seeing their buddy's work!
🦍 Positive vs negative communication, by pretending to act out how to handle different situations in a good or a bad way!

Shoutout to Maya Newcomer and Lacie McLaughlin for making the Girls All-Tournament Team this basketball season! Congratulation!
Gorilla Grapplers made their debut at the Junction City Invitational today. Tough wrestlers from all over Kansas and Nebraska. The men and ladies held their own and made personal gains. Mackenzie Blair dominated the lady's JV #115 bracket, undefeated for the win.



We are so excited to announce our NEW Gorilla podcast! The 393 Legacy is available for listening on both YouTube and Spotify. In our first series of episodes, we will feature one senior a week. This week, we would like to introduce Hayden Zerbe! Hayden discusses those who have made an impact on him and his education, his hobbies inside and outside of school, and his plans after graduation.
Hayden would like to give a shoutout to Mrs. Noggle, Mr. Riordan, and past teacher Mr. Daily for their excellence!

Several first graders earned a whole group office celebration for working hard on their readers' theater with Mrs. Rizzo. These kiddos are becoming strong, independent readers--their futures look bright!!

Congratulations to Mr. Johansen's MS SSAG group for earning the challenge trophy. All MS students were challenged to keep their locker locked and organized. This last week, 1 locker from each SSAG group was selected to be checked each day. At the end of Thursday, 3 SSAG groups were in the running for the trophy. The teachers of those groups competed in a competition to determine the final winner!




Congratulations to these outstanding students, Owen Westhead, Ty Harris, Jayden Bronson, and Bryan Hamlett for passing their recent ServSafe Manager Certification test! This certification opens doors to many opportunities after high school, paving the way for a future in the culinary and restaurant industry.
This is just one of the many industry-valued and recognized skills that Solomon High School offers to students that help them transition to higher education or the professional environment! 🦍

Solomon ELC currently has opening for children 6 wk- 5 yr. Visit the school website for more information or contact Aubre Hawks.

Some roads are clothes shut in the country. For those coming from Salina due to several stuck cars from last night wreckers are on highway 40 pulling people out this morning. I would use interstate or country club. our bus drivers will be contacting parents if they are unable to run the route today. 90% of the roads are travelable, however if you wish to keep your child home today please call the office. Jennifer will be in the office at 8:00 a.m. to take your calls.
