A big THANK YOU to everyone that came out for our inaugural TAG Talk collaboration with Travis TAG. Our guest speaker, Dr. Teresa Madson, led us through an insightful and engaging lesson on The Start to our Happiest Life. We are so thankful for the attendance and support of our Sudie and Travis TAG communities and we're already looking forward to our next event!
We want to share this video that Dr. T recommended to us...the importance of play.
This week (January 22-26) we celebrate some of our most amazing Sudie staff stars. Friday is the last day to drop labeled appreciation notes and gifts in the front door bins!
We have TWO SPOTS AVAILABLE for the spring semester!! The mission of the Girls Healing Circles is to inform and inspire 4th-6th grade girls so they grow up to be self-confident 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.
Five 90 minute circles after school (one Friday afternoon per month, starting Jan. 26th).
Circles are FUN and include drum circles and arts & crafts!
Includes Neuroacoustic soundtracks designed to improve sleep, emotional resilience, and anxiety (for optional at-home use).
Circles are led by a Sudie mom who is also a Neuroacoustic Sound Therapist and Emotion Release Practitioner.
There is still time to sign your scholar up for Karate at Sudie. Please review the graphics attached thoroughly as they contain registration/tuition fees, important dates and information.
*Scholarships available through Sudie Sports. Please contact Mrs. Hammond to work out scholarship options at cahammond@dallasisd.org
Click the links below to register or RSVP for the trial class.
If you are need of assistance with your student's application, please email Counselor Brown - jesbrown@dallasisd.org. Review the graphic for more information!
MISSION POSSIBLE
Debate Results
Out of about 40 schools, 91 teams, and nearly 300 debators, our 5th Grade Sudie Lions placed 3rd overall! We had 4 teams competing, and they all contributed to that placement.
Individual awards were also given to students who demonstrated strong speaking skills and scored well in that area.
Receiving silver medals were Aubrey Calzada Sanchez, Rose Brantley, and Mallory Squibb.
Our gold medalist was Arnav Dand.
We had two members rank in the top ten of this category—Gardner Fedro and Ezra Detzel. This was their first time ever competing in debate!
TMSCA GEAR UP
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who participated in TMSCA GEAR UP, especially our Elementary students competing on the Middle School level!
Please join me in congratulating these students who placed in the top 15 of the STATE in the largest and most competitive 6A category!
And a SUPER SUDIE SHOUT OUT to Francesco Montillo, who placed in the top 15 in all 4 TMSCA events!
PASSIVE FUNDRAISING
LET’S TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE MONEY!!!
Please take the easy steps to set up these passive fundraising opportunities and earn money the lazy way all year long!
Greenworks Recycling
PLEASE DON’T THROW AWAY CLOTHES AND TEXTILES! Drop them off in the bin by the school playground during carpool!!
Sudie and Clothes Bin have partnered to collect and recycle old clothing, shoes and textiles.
Keep these items OUT of landfills AND raise money for Sudie – at 8 cents a pound it’s a WIN-WIN!
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!
Set your supporting organization to: Sudie Tag PTA

You never have to think about it again and Sudie earns $$$ when you shop. Please sign up today (ask the extended family to do it, too!)
