Elementary GT Chess Night!
A few nights ago, our Sundown ISD Apollo Program hosted its annual Elementary GT Chess Night, and what a great turnout! We had 45 students and family members join us for an evening of strategy, fun, and connection. A huge thank you to Mrs. Ashley Bufe for coordinating this wonderful event and to all the families who came out to support our gifted learners!

Great kids. Sweet families. The Sundown Way!
