Solvay School Superintendent J. Francis Manning announced several good things happening in the district at a school board meeting last week. Among the items:
• Solvay High School’s Business Club has opened its new school store. “Business has been good and the students are excited about the store’s future,” the superintendent said at the Dec. 15 school board meeting.
• Doreen Merola, an English-language arts content specialist and certified training associate at Solvay High School, achieved “training associate” status for the Center for Cognitive Coaching in Denver.
She is now one of 50 training associates for the center and one of 25 still actively teaching cognitive coaching in the world. Manning said two Australian educators who recently visited the district were “most impressed with our leadership, students, staff members, facilities, etc. They have all spoken about the pride we take in our buildings and how clean and neat everything looks.”
