HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THIS WEEK!!
Come see these East High Students grapple with the troubles our own Sudie students face of being gifted in multiple areas and how to find the balance. Will these students learn that it all starts with openness and supportive friends, teachers, and family? Or do they "Stick to the Status Quo"?
High School Musical tickets are general admission tickets. Doors will open approximately 15 minutes before show time. All shows are at the Sudie Williams TAG Auditorium.
Check in at the door with ticket purchaser name. Ticket sales close 24 hours before each show start time. If not sold out, tickets will be available for purchase at the door. Performances are TONIGHT & Friday (Mar 21-22) @ 6:30pm.
Please spread the word to your area preschools, elementary schools, parent groups, Facebook, Instagram. We are still about 50 orders from our goal and this is for a great cause--DC for Class of 2025!!
Principal Ladipo will be discussing the upcoming school year. Join us to hear about changes to the 2024-2025 dress code, information regarding next year's school supplies and the latest updates on STAAR Testing. Use the link below to enter the zoom presentation.

The PTA thanks them for their time, energy and dedication to making our school such a great place by organizing events like this.
