Sundown ISD

A big THANK YOU to Hillside Church in Levelland for blessing our entire district with a few gallons of Tea2Go! We are so thankful for the thoughtfulness behind this simple but meaningful gesture. Providing a nice treat for our staff is another way of showing your love, encouragement, and support for the people who serve our students each day. We are especially grateful for the connection between Hillside and our Sundown community. We have a number of community members who attend Hillside, as well as Sundown students who are involved in their Youth Group. Thank you to Steve Cloud, Marcy Martinez, and Rayden Flores for thinking of our staff and helping make their day a little sweeter! We appreciate Hillside Church for loving on Sundown ISD!

SHS Social Action class will hold a canned food drive for the school's food pantry, SHAC, Thursday, Sept. 3. Help us "Stack the SHAC" with food items to help feed kids and their families this year! If a student brings 2 food items, they may wear a hat to school all day!

Putting helmet stickers on is a must do before the first game. But, more importantly, having these men alongside these players is everything. Thank you Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles, & Brothers. Go Roughnecks! #5-2-1

MORE THAN PLAYING TIME Sundown Senior Kolt McDaniel may not regularly get the opportunity to contribute on the field, but his contribution to the Roughnecks goes far beyond playing time. Kolt shows up. He works. He encourages. He leads. His leadership, work ethic, attitude, and commitment to his teammates are a reminder that being an important part of a team isn't always measured by the number of snaps you play or the statistics beside your name. During our scrimmage with Friona, Kolt was given an opportunity to step onto the field and score for the Roughnecks. We are incredibly thankful to Friona Head Coach Elias Carrillo and the Friona Chieftains for helping create a moment that meant so much to Kolt, his teammates, coaches, and everyone who had the opportunity to witness it. Kolt, thank you for continuing to represent what it means to be a Sundown Roughneck. Your impact on this team is bigger than any one play. You my dear Roughneck have Sundown Heart! Love Others. Work Hard. Embrace Excellence. Go Roughnecks!
