Solon Schools

The last day of kindergarten was full of wonder at Roxbury Elementary as students watched their classroom butterflies spread their wings and take flight.

In the weeks leading up to the release, kindergartners cared for caterpillars in a classroom butterfly habitat and closely observed their life cycle. They watched as the caterpillars grew, formed chrysalides and emerged as butterflies.

Students learned about the characteristics of living things as they observed how butterflies grow and change, need energy, respond to their environment and have traits that make them unique.

The experience helped students practice respect and care for living things. It also built an important foundation for what they will continue exploring in first and second grade, including how living things use their environment to meet their needs.

This is a great program for students and families! A collaboration between the Solon High School PTA and the Solon Police Department to provide practical and important safety information, format will allow for dialogue and Q and A.

Join us in the Solon High School Wellness Center on Thursday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m.

Registration requested.

For Bryan Shin, becoming a state champion was the culmination of four years of hard work, growth and commitment to track and field.

The recent Solon High School graduate recently won the OHSAA Division I state championship in shot put with a throw of 60 feet, 3 inches. He also earned bronze in discus, making him a two-time state medalist at the meet.

Check out our feature story to hear Bryan share what was going through his mind during the competition, how he overcame a challenging season and what makes Solon’s track and field program so special.

Summer break is officially underway, but we’re taking a look back at a few of the special moments that made the last week of school so memorable.

At Orchard Middle School, students celebrated with a quarter party full of summer fun, thanks to the Orchard PTA. Students decorated sunglasses, planted wildflowers and made “worms and dirt” desserts with pudding, cookie crumbles and gummy worms.

The celebration also included an inflatable obstacle course, a photo booth, crafts and plenty of outdoor fun.

What a great way to wrap up the school year and send our Orchard students into summer!
