Teacher Appreciation Week!  If you would join in and comment on your favorite teacher from Sundown ISD (on the Sundown ISD Facebook Page), and explain what made them your favorite! We have been celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week over the past 2 weeks for Sundown ISD staff!  They are definitely deserving of a 2-week "Teacher Appreciation Week"!  We are grateful to the parents that have collaborated to provide so many good treats and eats for our very deserving Sundown ISD Staff members!  We have the best teachers in the area, in our region and in the great state of Texas.  Our teachers are 2nd to none!  We are so fortunate to have each and every one of them serving our students and our community!  They teach more than the curriculum, they help to teach and instill our core values of loving others, working hard, and embracing excellence!  Sundown ISD Teachers, we love you!!!

In order to attend the chemical free party after prom students need this form signed and turned into Mrs Nichols by tomorrow, May 11th. It is a really fun event that keeps students safe after prom, and juniors and seniors get to leave with some really awesome prizes.

Bigger than the game…. Prior to the start of today’s game, Sundown Coach Kevin Torres, gathered his Roughnecks and invited the Jackrabbits to home plate to join them in a moment of prayer. Prior to today’s game, we learned that a Ralls player had been involved in an accident. After last night’s Bi-District game (3-game series) between the Sundown Roughnecks and the Ralls Jackrabbits, Aydan Villalba, was involved in a car accident. Players, coaches, and umpires stood on the field and joined together for an awesome moment of sportsmanship, but more importantly, a moment of humanity as they all stood together to offer up support and love for one another despite the upcoming battle they faced on the playing field. Fans in attendance stood along with the players and coaches and joined in on a moment of prayer. Players and coaches stood hand in hand as a prayer was spoken over the loud speaker. As we continue through our busy days and busy lives, may we never forget to take the moments to love one another. We are grateful to a Coach that helps lead our men in things bigger than baseball, and to allow them an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and to show them the way through acts of service. We spoke to his parents at the game, and Aydan is doing okay and is in good spirits. He was hospitalized overnight but is back home, unfortunately, he was unable to travel for game 2. We ask for continued prayers for Aydan for complete healing and a full recovery. Grateful to Ralls parent, Treva Hitt, for capturing this moment. Unfortunately, the Sundown Roughnecks came up short losing 0-2, 6-4 to the Jackrabbits, but the moment of love offered towards their foe will carry on with them for many years to come. #WeHaveSundownHeart

We are grateful to our Sundown HS OAP kids for helping decorate the elementary music classroom for a party. Learning how to serve is a great thing to learn at a young age and it’s one of the many values we teach at Sundown ISD!

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate our Cafeteria Ladies on National School Lunch Hero Day!  We are blessed to have these 5 Ladies as part of our Sundown ISD Family as well as a part of our community.  They work hard to prepare a nutritious meal for our students on a daily basis!  They are some of the best in the business!  Thank you ladies for all that you do for our Sundown ISD kids!
