Solon Middle School students explored practical ways to care for themselves and support others during the school’s first-ever Wellness Fair, held today during lunch periods.

Four interactive stations focused on wellness, connection and healthy coping strategies. Students tried breathing exercises and sensory tools, expressed themselves through calming art activities and shared encouraging messages with their peers.

One of the most popular activities invited students to write down a worry or negative thought and then shred the paper as a symbolic way of letting it go. Students also enjoyed spending time with Henry, the Solon Police Department therapy dog.

Thank you to the Solon Middle School counseling team and building administrators for creating a fun, welcoming event where students could pause, recharge and discover tools to support their well-being.

MEET THE COMETS: GIRLS VARSITY GOLF

Every golfer in the Solon girls varsity lineup has contributed this season, with different players stepping up from match to match.

“It has truly been a team effort the entire season,” head coach Damien Kopkas said.

That team effort has gone hand in hand with individual growth. Many of the golfers put in significant work during the offseason, and they are now seeing the results from match to match. Several have already achieved personal bests this season.

“It has been exciting to see the improvements that each girl is making, not just from last season to this one, but from match to match,” Kopkas said. “It is those little victories that have pushed them to keep working and keep improving.”

The Comets are also working to continue a proud postseason tradition. Solon has qualified either a team or an individual for the Northeast District tournament every year since 2010. “We are hoping to continue that streak this season,” Kopkas said.

Support the Comets as they tee it up against Orange at 3:30 p.m. today at Grantwood Golf Course.

Solon High School students practiced lifesaving skills during an interactive session in health class led by John Padley, a firefighter and paramedic with Solon Fire-Rescue.

With Padley’s guidance, students practiced hands-only CPR on training manikins. They performed chest compressions to the beat of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” to keep a steady rhythm. They also learned how to use an automated external defibrillator, or AED, to help someone experiencing cardiac arrest.

Thank you to Solon Fire Rescue for helping our students build the skills and confidence to act in an emergency when every second counts.
