About me... 

Hello, my name is Tondya Bownds.  I grew up and graduated from Idalou. I attended Texas Tech and graduated with a degree in Teachers of Young Children. I married after graduating from Tech and taught 1st grade in Lubbock. I then was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom taking care of our three children and helping with my parents. 

            My husband’s name is Lance, and he grew up in Slaton but has been transformed into an Idalou Wildcat!  He graduated from Angelo State University and has a business in Slaton.  We have three wonderful children, all graduates from Idalou, even our two sons-in-law’s .  I like to brag about my kids…
