Hello Hornets, and Happy first Friday of the new school year….hope you had a nice first week!

Happy birthday today to Matthew P and Ivan V…and over the weekend Daniela R and Ezequiel Z both have a birthday

Random Fact of the Day: Fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia.

Irrationally scared of clowns? You might have coulrophobia. Oh, and gephyrophobia is a fear of bridges.  (hmmm….I wonder what the fear of homework is called?  I’ll bet most middle schoolers have it though!). 

In case you were wondering, we are going to have beginning-of-year pictures taken, we just have to work out the details on how it will happen.  We’ll be sure to let you and your parents know what day we decide to use, and we will also be able to give you some more items that the District purchased to help you with doing your school work at home.  Stay Tuned!

It’s time for Hornet Humor!  Every day we have a joke to start your day with a smile….as the 7^th and 8^th graders already know, I don’t have many jokes in my brain, so I rely on students to help me out.  If you have a joke that you want to share, email it to me at dvanhorn@sonomaschools.org.  Otherwise, I’ll have to use the same jokes over and over.  You’ve been warned!

What do you get when you cross a shark and a Volkswagen?....... A man eating bug!
