On Wednesday, November 11, Sunnyvale ISD welcomed local veterans to the high school for a special Veterans Day celebration. The morning was a heartfelt thank-you to the men and women who have served our country.

To every veteran who joined us, and to every veteran in our community: thank you for your service. We are proud to honor you, and we hope to see you again next year.

Tradition lives on with the annual Bonfire in the Vale as we celebrated post-season play for both volleyball and football. Huge thanks to the staff, students and parent volunteers who planned a great night for the whole community to enjoy.

Our band and cheer squad led a great pep rally. Blake Adams and his son built the fire, and it was the centerpiece of the night. The Sunnyvale Fire Department managed the fire so everyone could enjoy it safely.

Sunnyvale Education Foundation hosted its Sponsor Appreciation Breakfast, and Supt. Matt Kimball joined students and educators to share how SEF grants are fueling opportunities in our classrooms.

A few of grants, and some of our amazing educators and students, were in the spotlight!

• Coolers that make floral design coursework a reality at the high school
• Tools that help student athletic trainers treat injuries and get athletes back in the game sooner
• A children’s book written by a Sunnyvale graduate for our elementary readers

SEF volunteers graciously raise funds to give our students learning experiences above and beyond, and those experiences build real-world skills. We’re grateful to SEF and its sponsors for investing in our Raiders!

The Sunnyvale HS Raiders closed out district play last week with a 63-7 win over Wills Point High School. The Raiders finished the regular season at 9-1 and were undefeated in district play. Next, the Raiders will face Pittsburg High School in Tyler, Texas.
