Hello Sudie Families!

We hope you had an opportunity this past weekend to celebrate with our community at either Friday’s Fine Arts Banquet or Saturday’s Sudie PTO Auction! Our celebrations continue this week with High School Signing Day and then fun field trips on Thursday and Friday!

Next week, we get to celebrate our amazing Teachers! I am thankful each and every day for the dedication, passion, love, excitement and expertise each of our teachers brings. They inspire our students to reach higher, dream bigger and develop a lifelong love of learning! We are thankful for the support of our community in celebrating these exceptional educators next week!

As a reminder, we do not have school on Monday, May 4th, so we hope everyone enjoys their three-day weekend!

🎭 Fine Arts Awards Celebration Shines Bright 🎨

We're Looking For Parent Feedback!

The Sudie TAG Arts Guild's annual Fine Arts Awards event on Friday was a tremendous success, bringing together students, families, and teachers for an evening filled with creativity, recognition, and celebration. The venue was packed with an enthusiastic crowd, making it one of our most well‑attended awards events to date.

Guests enjoyed a fantastic spread of food throughout the night, along with lively entertainment that showcased the talent and spirit of our fine arts community. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of numerous awards honoring outstanding achievements in performance, visual arts, leadership, and dedication. With so many deserving recipients, the ceremony reflected the depth and diversity of artistic excellence across our program.

For anyone who was unable to attend, your Fine Arts teacher has your trophy.  

It was a joyful night of applause, connection, and pride — a true celebration of the arts and the students who bring them to life.

Congratulations to all the honorees!

Thank you to Mikie Rangel for taking photos of the event. Here is a link to the photo circle.

Please also give us any feedback you have about the event. We are always looking to make it work better for our families! https://forms.gle/qi3HRQgNGvtekWJ58
