SUDIE SPORTS NEWS
Sudie Sports 2.0
The Sudie Sports Committee was started in Fall 2021 by a group of parents looking to create opportunities for Sudie students to meet new friends, develop teamwork skills and learn different sports. The response has been overwhelming! Hundreds of Sudie students have participated in soccer, volleyball, flag football and basketball teams at the Semones YMCA, the White Rock YMCA and the SVAA, and parents have started clubs in lacrosse, track & field, tennis, golf and climbing.
We are excited to announce that Ms. Cambria Hammond will be assisting with Sudie Sports as we move to Sudie Sports 2.0. If you would like to be part of this initiative, please join the Sudie Sports Committee at its next meeting on Monday, January 22 at 7 pm via Zoom. Please email Ms. Hammond at cahammond@dallasisd.org or Brandy Treadway at brandytreadway@yahoo.com to receive the invite.

Attention 5th-7th grade parents! It’s that time of year when your scholar will be deciding which electives they would prefer for 24-25! These are preferences and not guaranteed, but Counselor Brown always tries her best to ensure that your scholar receives at least one of their 1st choices.
