The city and the schools work well together. There are a ton of volunteer-led events that bring the town together.” From Spartan flags on Fridays to windows painted in support of students headed to state competitions, Solon wears its pride on its sleeve. “It’s a very close community, where it feels like everybody truly cares about each other,” he continues. 2 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 07
