Solanco Class Of 2019 Prepares For Graduation By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Friday, June 7, will be a busy day for the approximately 275 members of the Class of 2019 at Solanco High School. The seniors will don caps and gowns to process through the district’s elementary and middle schools, and they will also enjoy a class picnic and have a final practice for commencement, which will be held at 7 p.m. in the school’s athletic stadium, 585 Solanco Road, Quarryville. “It (will be) a fun day,” commented class treasurer Brooke Wheeler. Considering the upcoming milestone, the class motto seems especially poignant. It reads, “Our lives are before us, our pasts are behind us, but our memories are forever with us.” “Graduation will be our final time together before class reunions,” said class president Joshua Canale. “I’m totally going to cry,” class
vice president Kyle Osborne predicted. The class officers, including secretary Lauryn McNutt and historian Logan Yaletchko, praised their classmates for being good citizens. “We have a really good reputation as one of the best classes at Solanco,” Joshua said. “We have really good personalities,” Logan added. “Teachers like to connect with us. It changes the group dynamic.” Among the officers, English teacher Leslie McRobbie, math teacher Lisa Schell, and guidance counselor Patricia McTaggart are favorite faculty members. “Mrs. Schell has always been a supportive teacher in and out of the classroom,” Brooke said. “Mrs. McRobbie is a woman of kindness and wit,” Lauryn remarked, adding that McRobbie helped her discover her identity and McTaggart was instrumental in determining a direction in life.

Southern Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce (SLCCC) members are looking forward to hosting the eighth annual document shredding event rain or shine on Friday, June 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. The event raises funds for student scholarships. “It’s fun. We’re all volunteers,” said event chair Holly Filius. “It really is giving back to the community so kids have the opportunity to meet some of their expenses.” For a donation, members of the public may bring sensitive documents to the shredding truck, which will be parked at the site of the former Burkholder’s Used Cars, 2539 N. Willow Street Pike (Route 222), Willow Street. Vehicles should enter on Beaver Valley Pike (Route 272). Folks with more than 10 boxes of documents are considered bulk shredding clients and should drop See Shredding Event pg 9
and will be held at Huffnagle Park, which is bordered by Oak Lane and Wagner Drive in Quarryville. In the event of rain, the performances will be moved indoors to Memorial United Methodist Church, 101 S. Hess St., Quarryville. See Concert Series pg 10
