Elementary celebrated the end of the six weeks with the Character Counts assembly. Students performed a skit about courage, and Terri Morris, RN came to talk about the Covenant School of Nursing and the profession. It was a fun morning!




Today, the Roughneck Band sent 7 small ensembles, comprised of 28 band students, to Abernathy for the UIL Solo/Ensemble Contest. These students brought home 31 medals, and all 7 ensembles (28 students) qualified for the Texas State Solo/Ensemble Contest in Pflugerville.
Needless to say, we are SUPER proud of these Roughneck Band members! A big thanks to Mrs. Blount and Mr. Bibb for working with these groups to prepare for them for this event. Outstanding effort all around!
When you see these kids next week, pat them on the back for a job well done!

So thankful to our parents that came together to bring our staff at Sundown ISD some treats for Valentine’s Day! We are so blessed to be a part of a community that values our students and our staff in the highest regard! Our Sundown Community is the Best!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day from the Sundown Middle School Leadership classes! Some of the Sundown Leadership classes created homemade Valentines to be delivered to local nursing homes and to some
of the elderly in our community! Coach Newton, Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Webb helped to spearhead this act of service! So grateful that our students have the opportunity to be led by such caring individuals!
