Sundling Strong, Proud Paladin.
At the heart of halls where dreams ignite, Where learning glows in the morning light, There stands a school, so bold, so bright, A place where futures take their flight.
With teachers wise, who guide with care, And coaches pushing athletes past hopelessness, A principal who leads with pace, A smile and a voice that advocates.
Our motto echoes through the air, “It’s a great day to be a Paladin!”, we say. With pride we walk these cherished halls, Where courage answers every call.
Pip the paladin, in shining armor, A symbol of the strength that we dream. Through every cheer and every song, We rise as one—We are Paladins!
So here’s to us, both young and bold, With hearts of fire and spirits gold. At Sundling, where we all belong. We live, we learn, we lead, we shine. Sundling Strong!
