Behold our Blue and Gold

Years ago Mrs. Blevins, one of Sonora's beloved teachers who had taught English here for the last 33 years, told me that she and other long-time Raiders bleed blue and gold. This is something that we hold as our theme this year; Behold our Blue and Gold. This theme represents the level of excellence that you see in every aspect of Raider Pride.

Walking through our classrooms at the end of the first week you will see our blue and gold. Students in Mrs. Melissa Barajas's classes were learning about levels of inferences and interpretation. Mr. Mike Murphy and his classes were learning Next Generation Science Standards of Claim and Evidence. Mr. Murphy, who also serves as our Boys' Varsity Basketball Coach, had students claim Michael Jordan was the best basketball player of all time. The students had to present evidence of such a claim. Madame McClung's French classes are already singing about the French culture. Behold our Blue and Gold!!

On Monday our newly formed Link Crew connected with our Freshmen through various activities all morning. Connecting our Freshmen to our campus, now that is Blue and Gold. Thank you, Mrs. Viveros, Mr. Volen, and Link Leaders.

Our staff club had a pizza luncheon to welcome our new teachers on Friday. Thank you, Mrs. McClung, Ms. Appenrodt, Mrs. McGee, and Mrs. Welch. Behold our Blue and Gold.

Finally, but certainly not least is our ASB. We finished the week off with our Welcome Back Pep-Rally coordinated by our ASB. We connected everyone to the Jungle, our student spirit section. Now that is....you guessed it, Blue and Gold. 

Sonora Raiders, keep strong to our mission and vision and live each moment to its fullest. #beholdblueandgold

This summer one of our Raiders, Christian Jen, had an internship with the office of Assemblyman Chen.  This gave Christian the opportunity to work in the State Capitol this summer.  If you had an internship opportunity this summer, then please feel free to email and send me any pictures that you may have so we can celebrate you.  #beholdblueandgold
