It is hard to believe that we are a week away from summer break! The 2025-2026 school year has been a super one at Sudie TAG! From extracurriculars going to state, national and global competitions to numerous academic achievements and unforgettable moments we truly showed that There’s No Place Like Sudie!
This Thursday evening, we are excited to celebrate our 8th graders as they reach a final milestone in their careers at Sudie, the chance to elevate towards their future! Then on Friday, we get to celebrate the bridging of our 5th graders to middle school, and from their responses to their step up day this past Monday, these students are beyond ready! Throughout the last few days of the school year, we will celebrate each class with their end of year party and clap up 5th grade and clap out 8th grade on the last day, Wednesday, 5/27. We are also beyond thrilled to start a new Sudie tradition with our Sudie Senior Walk on Tuesday 5/26 where we will reconnect and celebrate with Sudie Lions who are in the process of graduating high school!
Thank you to all of our community members who have made these moments possible! We loved connecting with you on Monday at our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast!
Thank you for your support of our students, school and community!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support and dedication this year. It was amazing - we should all be so proud of what we accomplished together and we can't wait to do it all again next year!
With gratitude,
Sudie TAG PTA
