The Sundown Girls Powerlifting Team competed at the Regional Powerlifting Meet held this past Friday in Shamrock, TX. The Roughette Team took 7 Individuals to the meet, and had 2 qualify for the State Meet to be held on March 15th in Frisco, TX! Coach Barry Newton and Coach Sarah Goodman had a great season, and will have the opportunity to coach these young ladies one more time at the state meet! The 2 state qualifying lifters were Jaelin Wylie and Ariel Hernandez. Both Jaelin and Ariel managed to hit a qualifying total in their respective weight classes to qualify for the State Meet. Jaelin had a 625 lb total to reach and had to deadlift 20 pounds over her maximum deadlift to qualify, which she managed to pull with ease! Ariel was in the same position and had to pull 40 pounds over her maximum deadlift to qualify, and she also managed to pull it off! It was quite the experience for these young ladies and their families! An experience they will remember for years to come!

Ariel Hernandez - 4th Place - (235 lb Squat - 140 Bench - 300 lb Deadlift - 675 lb total) - State Qualifier | Outstanding Deadlift - Light Platform

We are also proud of our 5 regional qualifiers that have lifted in their last meet for the 2023 Season! They had a great season filled with ups and downs, and learned so much about themselves throughout the course of the season! They learned how strong they are... not only physically but mentally as well! They cheered each other on throughout the course of the season and made us proud to be a fellow Sundown Roughneck and Roughette!

Today, Sundown ISD joined a group of 250 school districts and education organizations in asking the Texas Education Agency to pause its planned “refresh” of the A-F Accountability System which would retroactively increase the bar for College, Career and Military Readiness by 47%. We urge the legislature to intervene and ensure the elected representatives of the people evaluate the accountability system holistically to improve how we measure success and communicate school performance to families.
Track Schedule for this coming week! The track meets will be held in New Deal on Tuesday (Middle School) and Thursday (High School).
Day one of the HS Apollo trip started out with half of our group spending the morning volunteering at a non-profit for Shea Beadles senior research project. The students visited Mobile Loaves and Fishes Community First Village- a well planned community that provides housing for the disabled, chronically homeless in Central Texas. Our kids fed the neighborhood breakfast and spent a few hours interacting and fellowshiping with the neighbors.
Shortly following this opportunity, we were able to meet up with the rest of the Apollo kids, a big thank you to Jason and Nicole Powell for their time and willingness to bring the other half of our group to Austin!
We then went to GameON! to do an in-person, live, game show experience. "The Beetles" won the show!
Following the gameshow, several students who have spent time researching areas related to the medical field, met with Dr. Tim Wilson for a tour of Dell hospital and a brief Q&A session.
We ended the day by attending the musical Cinderella, at Zach's Theater. This was a unique experience because the show was produced in partnership with Deaf Austin Theater and was partially in sign-language.
REMINDER... Calendar Update
As Sundown continues to host many school events, we are in need of a noon release on Thursday, March 9th in addition to the noon release that is already scheduled for Friday, March 10th. We will have back to back days of noon release on the Thursday and Friday this week, so plan accordingly! We are grateful to our Sundown Community! Sundown is the Best!
