It is Time to Donate to Sudie PTA’s ONLY fundraiser!
Donate at: northtexasgivingday.org/sudie. You can donate directly AND create a page for your student to raise money from friends, family, and the community.
This money funds extracurricular activities for your kids, including field trips, class parties, chess, robotics, UIL competitions, cheer, and many more.
It costs $5,619 per student to ensure that teachers and students have the resources they need to have a successful school year. Help us support our students!

Nominate a Volunteer of the Month
Do you know of a parent volunteer that is going out of their way to help the school? Let us know!
Help the Sudie Williams TAG PTA express our gratitude by nominating a “Volunteer of the Month.”
Each month, the PTA Executive Board will review the nominees and select one person to be recognized. Note that Sudie PTA Board members are not eligible.
We exceeded our August goal and now have 379 PTA members.
It's not too late to join - our overall goal is 500 members this year so if you haven't signed up yet, please do. It doesn't take long and only costs $10 a person.
There are so many people who were members last year that haven't renewed yet. Is that you?
The Class of 2024 will be hosting a bake sale in front of school every Friday through October 6th to raise money for their D.C. trip next year. Please have your students stop by after school for a yummy treat!
Cash or Venmo accepted.
Join the Recess Team - It's a blast!
Thank you to all the volunteers who have signed up for recess duty!! It is looking good.
If every family took only one shift per year we would have all the spaces covered and then some. Please help to make recess happen for middle school.
Everyone benefits from the outdoor social time these kids will get!! Plus you get to check in on them once in the year. It is very interesting to see the world of middle school in action at recess. A great learning experience for all.
Contact Shona Bell @smgbell@gmail.com or 202-907-5522 with questions.
Do you want to do a special treat for the staff this year? Are you that family that drops off 3 dozen donuts one random weekday just because? Everyone loves it when you do!
Please consider signing up to stock the lounge with treats over a week or bring in a treat or two (like donuts or bagels) for all to enjoy that day!
Wherever works for you. We'd love to have something brought in each week--anything works.
Thank you for loving on our staff. They are amazing!
Girls Healing Circles
The mission of the Girls Healing Circles is to inform and inspire 4th-6th grade girls so they grow up to be self-confident and self-loving young ladies who appreciate their bodies, know how to process emotions in a healthy way, and look to other girls as sisters rather than as competition.
• 5 Healing Circles in the fall semester
• 5 Healing Circles in the spring semester
• Circles will be 90 minutes long on select Fridays after school, beginning 9/15
• Neuroacoustic Sound Therapy will be incorporated by listening at home to specialized soundtracks designed to improve sleep, emotional resilience, and anxiety.
• Circles are led by a Sudie mom who is also a Neuroacoustic Sound Therapist and Emotion Release Practitioner
The cheer team sold Birthday Bombs at auction last year and a few remain for purchase. This is a fun way to make your special student or staff member's birthday extra special and support Sudie Cheer!
For each birthday gram, the cheer team will decorate their locker (if they don't have a locker other festive arrangements will be made) or staff member's door/area for the selected date.
Six or more cheerleaders will greet the honoree and perform a birthday celebration cheer at their arrival and present the honoree with a birthday pin to wear all day long.
Date and timing of cheer (at drop off) and special details will be coordinated with purchaser.
Each birthday gram is $100. Limited quantity available.
Please contact Shona Bell at smgbell@gmail.com or 202-907-5522 to purchase.

Heat Index Precautions
Sudie follows the following DISD official policy to protect our kids during extreme heat:
Heat Index of 105° or higher: No outside activity and encourages hydration.
Heat Index of 100°-104°: Only essential outdoor activities; water must be provided before and after activity.
Heat Index less than 100°: Usual outdoor activities are permissible for “healthy” children. Encourage hydration and provide water before and after activity.
Also, kids are released (at least) 5 minutes early to fill up their water bottles before the final bell.
Start planning for your kids to lose stuff before they actually do. Order labels to put on their most prized items so they don't end up in the sea of lost and found!
When you order from Mabel's Labels, Sudie earns 20% from each order!
