Fransica Marinelarena was the winner of this year's Apple Air pods that Sundown first grade raffled off as their community service project. This year's raffle tickets were combined with ones that were sold last year before schools were shut down. For the past several years, the first grade classes at Sundown have participated in the Adopt An Animal program with the Clovis Zoo. For the past 6 years they have adopted Jerrica the giraffe and for the past 2 years they have also adopted Getti the hyena. The funds that were raised this year, along with last year's funds, will build a fence around Jerrica's area, and it will help purchase special food for Getti - which comes out of Houston. We would like to thank everyone that purchased a ticket to support our community service project.

The day was also organized by the National Honor Society, Leadership Class, Student Council, & Social Action Class. Thank you to these students, also.
