Solvay Students Serve on Panel:
Two freshman students, Ariel Ash and Allison Ryan, volunteered and served on a student panel for the 2020 CNY Reading Council Spring Conference this past weekend (Saturday, March 7th). They joined students from multiple schools by sharing in a conversation about literacy and what that means to our youth. Both Allison and Ariel did a PHENOMENAL job in representing Solvay. Their responses added great value to the conversation that afternoon. Mrs. Moran is very proud of them.
Here are some of the questions Ariel and Allison were asked (and Mrs. Moran's summary of their responses):
What does the term literacy mean to you? Can you tell me what literacy looks and sounds like in your communities? Everything we do from day to day life is literacy...even talking. ...

SMS Students Experience Tinsmithing:
On Thursday, December 12th, Jack Gramlich came to Solvay MS and worked with our 5th grade classes to teach them about tinsmithing. Mr. Gramlich discussed the history of working with tin, demonstrated how to use tools such as tin snips, punches, and a break (used to fold the tin sheets). The students then chose a design, used the appropriate template to trace out the shape of the tin sheet they would need, and then cut them out using the tin snips. Students used hammers and punches to create designs on their candleholders, and then took them to Mr. Gramlich to be finished by having him solder parts together. The students all enjoyed the hands-on activity, and were able to take a nice, handcrafted gift home with them to cherish or share. Many thanks to Mr. Gramlich for coming in and providing ...
