PLEASE PRAY

Please join us as we are in prayer for our dorm mom Sharon,

Today as students were out playing ultimate frisbee, we received news that our dorm mom was in some sort of a biking accident. Although the actual cause of the accident has not been established yet the information that we do have is that she flew over the top of her handle bars and landed on her face. She is currently in surgery to fix damage to her face, apparently there is extensive bruising on her forehead and a good amount of skin damage across her face. In addition she has broken both of her wrists and so she will be "off" for a good amount of time. As of now Rick is with her and we do not know when she will be back.

Thank You,

Normandy today, Rome tommorow

So as the weeks have gone by both the senior and junior classes have had a chance to go on their class trips. These few pictures are only a brief glimpse into the amazing time that the juniors had during their weekend trip to Normandy. Enjoy:

Sonne Juniors always seem to find time for a little Sonne Pride

FALL PARTY and an update

School is back in session. As the weeks have gone by since the start of a new school year there has been the typical ups and downs of our dorm life. Aunt Sharon traveled to the states two weeks ago to attend a wedding and she greatly enjoyed it. While she was getting ready to return to the dorm we recieved some bad news, Uncle Rick's father had continued to get worse in his poor health and eventually passed away. Uncle Rick went back to be with his family and to attend the funeral before Aunt Sharon was able to even get back to the dorm. Please keep the Favazzas in your prayers as Aunt Sharon and Rick are apart during this hard time in their life.

On a brighter note, FALL PARTY was last night, the theme being A Black and White Affair. All of the high school students attended while our middle schoolers went on their overnight trip. Our juniors preformed a Jabawakeez dance routine which took the audience away, while Lukas and Kurt walked away with the Funniest Costume award dressed as mormon missionaries. A few others included a barcode group between blauen and sonne and couple of gangstas.

As promised pictures are coming as soon as we can.

NEW EVERYTHING!

So a new school year has come, and Sonne is back in session. This year Sonne has been filled not only with new students we have recieved 3 new RA's and new dorm parents. The dorm parents, Rick and Sharron have become a quick hit at the dorm and the guys have been blessed to have them this year, with them they bring much experience as they have been dorm parents for 11 years throughout Asian boarding schools. Matt Kirkley has also been joined by some great RA's (CB, Tommy, and Andy who arrives tonight). One more thing that we have new this year is MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, we have been blessed with the presence of the former liel dorm students. They are a joy to have around as we constantly find them looking up in awe at guys like Johann who are almost 3 feet taller than them.

Pictures will be coming soon, and we are off to a new year.

An Alumnus Update

We don't have many of these, but they are pretty neat to hear about. If any alumni of Sonne have anything interesting going on in their lives that they want to share, hey, it can be posted here.

Air Force Academy, Colorado

Jarrid Leute, Sonne '04, is a Westpoint cadet serving on a exchange program at the Air Force Academy. On 15 August, he, along with several other exchange cadets, took their USMA commitment oath, swearing to finish off their remaining two years at the United States Military Academy and then go on to serve a minimum of five years active duty. The oath was admistered by Lt. Gen. Webster, who also gave a speech on "Duty, Honor, Country," the Army motto. It was quite a good speech, and a great ceremony to see.

Yep. School begins soon. Sonne will once again be filled with the yells and joyous screams of new and returning guys. It's gonna be great.
