We have S.O.L (Student Organization of Latinos)! What is S.O.L.? Described by Ms.Torres, S.O.L.’s club advisor, “S.O.L. is dedicated to empowering our community through education. Those students that participate in this program are able to get certain resources that they might not otherwise have access to and give back to their community.” S.O.L.’s meetups take place in room 336 every Wednesday at 2:30 PM after school. The club however is not only for Latinos. People are encouraged to join no matter your ethnic background. “S.O.L. is for anyone who wants to connect with other people,” says Carlos Burgueno (Sophomore). S.O.L. is not exclusive to only Eldorado, Valley and Rancho High school have a really strong S.O.L. program. Ms.Torres already plans to do events with the other S.O.L. programs. “I'm already working with them [Valley and Rancho] so that we can plan a S.O.L Dance for all three S.O.L.’s” These High Schools aren't the only ones that do things like this. “There is also a Hispanic Student Union which is going to have students help plan events for our high school students.” From the students perspective, S.O.L. is about community, Salvador Llamas, club president, says, “We’re trying to create a happier environment. They learn outdoor skills, they must cooperate to achieve this.” Anahi Miguel, Gear Up ambassador says, “People need to be aware of our community and the problems we face together, not just as Latinos,” she continues to recommend students to join. “ It helps build character and they can give back to the community. S.O.L. is for everyone.” S.O.L plans to do bigger things in the future, like the Dia De Los Muertos festival at the Springs Preserve. The students plan to make Eldorado’s S.O.L. program the strongest in Las Vegas.
