Hello Sudie Families!

This past Friday was surely a super day at Sudie with our 8th-grade field trip to SMU and then Sudie Palooza! On Saturday, our students excelled at competitions all throughout the district, with our Art students earning gold and platinum at the VASE competition, modern band students shining on stage, Elementary cheer earning a Superior rating, 5th grade debate sparring off with other campuses and ESports taking 1st place in Mario Kart! I also want to give a special Sudie shoutout to the 7th-grade families who planned and helped facilitate our 7th and 8th-grade Spring dance!

Thank you also to our families and PTA, who have helped us celebrate our Office Staff and Bus Drivers this week! I also want to express my gratitude for every family's support of our students and staff during this STAAR testing season. You are a big reason why testing has gone so well, and our students have felt confident showing all they know on these exams.

I hope everyone is planning to join us this Saturday evening at our Sudie Auction, put on by our phenomenal PTO! It is sure to be a great evening filled with community and fun! Next week, we get to honor our 8th-grade class at High School Signing Day on Wednesday, followed by our schoolwide field trip to the Angelika on Thursday and the 6th and 7th-grade capstones on Friday! Spring continues to be a super time at Sudie!

Thank you for your support of our students, staff and school!
