Solvay students conquer Chip Camp:
A few of Solvay's 6th and 7th graders had the opportunity to attend a Micron Chip Camp hosted by Liverpool CSD over Spring Break. Students challenged themselves through hands-on STEM activities such as creating scribble-bots, rubber band race cars, and hydraulic claws. During the camp, students traveled to Cornell University to learn about Nanotechnology and try on Clean Room suits. Chip Camp invites students to see and experience what engineers and scientists do every day in a semiconductor company.

Varsity Softball team "Strikes Out" Lou Gehrig's Disease:
The Varsity Softball team recently competed in the 5th annual "Strike Out Lou Gehrig's Disease" ALS Softball Classic. We raised over $800 (they ask each team to raise $500) with help from the STA, Boosters Club, and Solvay PBA as well as others. We beat Homer on Saturday at the Gillette Road Complex in Cicero and then went on the field for the pregame ceremonies (picture) at the Syracuse Mets "ALS Awareness Game" at NBT Bank stadium Sunday (pictures). It was a great experience that taught the girls about giving back to the community and being part of something bigger than themselves.
