Safe travels to our XC squad! Our Roughneck Boys Cross Country team and our lone Roughette are on the road to Round Rock for the State XC Meet! We pray for traveling mercies and lift them up in prayer as they represent Sundown with heart, grit, and pride! A huge thank-you to Abel Perez for inspiring and motivating our student-athletes during this morning’s district-wide pep rally before they hit the road. Let’s go, Roughnecks and Roughette #WeHaveSundownHeart #RoundRockOrBust #StateXCMeet #TheSundownWay

We want to extend a big thank you to Chris Driver and Zack Stephens from Oasis Church for blessing our SMS staff with breakfast and prayer! It was a wonderful morning of fellowship, great food, and encouragement. We are truly grateful for our friends at Oasis Church!

Kolt McDaniel's Roughneck teammates presented a special gift to him Sunday night. Kolt's love for Roughneck football is second to none. He can't get on the field but he's a very important member of the squad. We see you Kolt!

Sundown ISD: School is officially cancelled for Tuesday and Wednesday, November 4th and November 5th next week (Monday, Nov 3rd is already a school holiday). Our Band has qualified for the State Marching Contest to be held on Tuesday, November 4th. Sundown ISD has decided to cancel school for Tuesday and Wednesday, to allow for safe travel for our Band, students, and community members that will travel to San Antonio for the Band Competition. Tuesday will be a full day of competing, and the Band will return home on Wednesday. We are very proud of "The Pride of the Oil Patch", and want to allow any and all community members to make the trip to San Antonio to cheer on our Band! Monday is already a scheduled school holiday, so we are now adding Tuesday and Wednesday of next week as school holidays as well. Thank you for your continued support of Sundown ISD. REMINDER: NO school Monday - Wednesday [Nov. 3 - Nov. 5] to allow staff, students and community members to travel to San Antonio in support of our Band. We will also open up the Auditorium on Tuesday at 10:00 AM for the 11:15 AM Performance!
