Upcoming Events


Happy Friday, everyone!  Before we jump into the weekend, here is a look at what is coming up in the next couple of weeks.  There are quite a few different activities and volunteer opportunities that you will want to take note of, so read on!

Monday January 27 - Volunteer Orientation
***Volunteer Orientation is required of EVERY volunteer at Solomon***
Volunteer Orientation is held every Monday in P-1 at 8:15am.  If you cannot make it to the orientation, please let us know.  We are more than happy to schedule a one-on-one orientation at a time that is convenient for both parties.

Tuesday January 28 - Paws Store
If anyone is looking to start picking up volunteer hours, the Paws Store is the perfect place to do it!  We need at least 2-3 volunteers from 9:30am-10:00am and 4-5 volunteers from 11:40am-1:05pm.

Monday February 3 - Volunteer Orientation & Holiday Grams go on sale
The Solomon PTSO will be selling Holiday Grams in P-1 for $1.00 each.  Holiday grams are holiday-themed cutouts that can be decorated and sent to anyone within the school.  When delivered, the gram will also include a small healthy snack for the recipient.  All deliveries will be made on February 14, making this a perfect opportunity to send your sweetheart(s) a special Valentine message!

Tuesday February 4 - Paws Store

Monday February 10 - Volunteer Orientation (at 8:15am in P-1)

Tuesday February 11 - Paws Store

Wednesday February 12 - Dominos Fundraiser
Take the night off and let Dominos do the cooking!  The Dominos on Schofield is generously giving 10% of their entire day's sales to the Solomon PTSO.  Order anything off of the menu, from pizza to pasta - it's that simple!

Friday February 14 - Holiday Grams delivered & Jump Rope for Heart

Solomon is once again raising funds for children with heart diseases and promoting health awareness and active lifestyles through its annual Jump Rope for Heart event.  All grade levels will be participating in the Jump-A-Thon throughout the day; last year, Solomon raised almost $5,000 and we are excited to try and match (and even exceed) that amount this year!  Look for more information to be shared as the event draws nearer.  We will need a few extra volunteers to help ensure the event runs smoothly, so please let us know if you are interested in helping out!



Monday February 17 - NO SCHOOL!  Happy President's Day!



Tuesday February 18 - Paws Store

Wednesday February 19 - Evacuation Drill
Solomon will be participating in a "Whole School Off-Campus Evacuation Drill" on this day.  The exercise is tentatively scheduled to begin at 8:20am (weather permitting).  This exercise will involve the students leaving the campus and walking down to the CYS building and back; this drill has been approved and is supported by the U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii/CBRNE.  Exercises such as this are extremely important for our staff and students, as they provide practice opportunities that will hopefully ensure their safety in a "real life" event, should that ever occur.  PLEASE NOTE - During the time of the drill, the office will be closed and children will NOT be released during the duration of the exercise.  If you need to pick up your child (for any reason), it is asked that you do so after 9:45am.

Monday February 24 - Volunteer Orientation

Tuesday February 25 - Paws Store

Wednesday February 26 - New Parent Coffee
New Parent Coffee is a program offered by the Transition Center at Solomon.  Parents of new students (and even parents of students who have been here for a while) are invited to stop by for a brief presentation about the resources available to their families through the school and the greater Schofield community.  The atmosphere is casual, the coffee is hot, and the information you'll receive will surely help make your time here in Hawaii extra special!


As always, if you ever have any questions or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring to them to us in P-1.  Our hours are:
9:00am-1:00pm on Mon, Tues, Thurs, & Fri
*CLOSED on Wednesdays*
Our phone number is (808)-624-9500, just ask for room P-1.  If we don't answer, leave a message and we will get back to you.  Also, you can reach us via email at solomonpcnc@gmail.com.
