From Coach Gleason:
First of all, thank you all so much for your help this past Saturday at our Oil Patch Invitational XC Meet. We had over 40 teams with over 1,000 total entries, and the day went off without a hitch, and that is entirely thanks to the amazing help you all provided. I received numerous compliments from coaches and spectators about how professional you all were and how well the meet was run! And thank you as well to any of you who came out to support the team. The Oil Patch Invitational and the Sundown Community have a long standing reputation of high energy and competitive spirit, and that legacy continued on Saturday, so once again thank you all so much for your support and dedication to this school and our team. The team ran well and fought hard through a very tough and muddy course.

COMMENDED STUDENTS IN THE 2022 NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The principal, Jeremy Grffith, of Sundown High School announced today that Avery Avery has been named a Commended Student in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this talented senior.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2022 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed in the top 50,000 students who entered the 2022 competition by taking the 2020 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognized for their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success”.
When you see Avery Avery out and about please congratulate her on this huge accomplishment!
