Mr. Sorge is known for a couple things, most notably teaching math and the woodworking co-curricular. Oh, and his weekly jokes at SGA assemblies (a fan favorite). However, one lesser known fact about him is that he paints. His medium of choice is watercolor, and when asked why, Mr. Sorge responded, “Because it’s beautiful… and inexpensive.” Starting in the summer of ‘22, Mr. Sorge had one goal in mind: to get better. Giving himself a goal of painting every day of the season, he quickly progressed and figured out his favorite subject material, local buildings, which can be seen in his later art. It is truly impressive the amount of improvement that took place. He credits a lot of this to all the videos and tutorials he watched in order to improve, and he especially wanted to credit Paul Clark. At the end of the day, the desire to learn and improve is an important one. So maybe with the summer fast approaching, take a page out of Mr. Sorge’s book and dedicate a little time each day to improve on something.
A more well-known hobby of Mr. Sorge’s is woodworking. Teaching the co-curricular all three trimesters, Mr. Sorge teaches many students a new, and helpful, skill. He took his first woodworking class in middle school, but he had previous experience from growing up around his father’s shop, which had access to plenty of woodworking tools. When asked what his favorite piece was, his answer was an altar table for Chaplain Conner, “Probably the table, because it’s an actual thing. A lot of my woodworking is to fix things that already exist.” He continued on to say that it was also fun to build since it was a gift. The project he is working on currently is two wooden dinosaurs for his sons.
