Parents,
It has been a fast and crazy first six weeks, but it has been a good one! I wanted to let you know that we will host our first Character Counts assembly for the 20/21 school year on Friday. Due to COVID 19, the elementary students will be required to spread out across the auditorium. The students are required to have an empty seat in between them. Because of COVID 19 restrictions, and students taking up the majority of the auditorium, parents will not be permitted to attend this event. We will record the assembly and post it to our website as soon as we can get it uploaded. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month of October, Sundown HS Student Council and Social Action classes will be holding fundraisers to benefit local cancer patients.
On October 9th, we will be selling breakfast burritos from Burger King. Burritos include sausage, eggs, hash browns, and cheese on a 6 inch flour tortilla. The cost of the burritos is $2.00; proceeds will go toward making care packages for patients at Joe Arrington Cancer Center.
We are taking pre-orders and asking that you pre-pay by Friday, September 25th. Please email Mrs. Nichols at jnichols@sundownisd.com with your name, cell phone number, and order.
Burritos will be available for curbside pickup at the entrance North of the auditorium doors on October 9th, beginning at 7:30 AM.
