🇮🇹 RSVP Deadline for Italy Trip Approaching! ✈️
I’m following up on our exciting Italy trip. The informational meeting is just around the corner!
Let your students step into the stories of Italy—from the streets of Pompeii to the heart of Rome. They’ll go underground in Naples, learn to make pizza, cycle through Villa Borghese, and take in iconic sights like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Sistine Chapel. With hands-on experiences and expert local guides, every day brings history and culture to life.
It’s been amazing to see so much excitement about this opportunity. If you haven’t already, please register for our meeting to learn more about this adventure!
Why attend? - Learn how to save $150 with early enrollment. - What's included in the trip. - Safety, payment plans, and scholarships.
Plus so much more! Only families who attend will get first access to enrollment.
I’m looking forward to seeing you there and sharing all the ways this trip can open doors and broaden horizons for your child. Let’s make this dream a reality together!
Please note that this optional EF tour is separate from and will not take the place of our Sudie Capstone trips, which happen every year, at every grade level, for every student and are a core part of the Sudie experience. Participation in this EF tour is entirely optional.
Best, Amy Garnica

Example for tomorrow (Thursday) if a student is only wearing Blue pants for fairness, they should wear their regular Sudie uniform shirt or if they are only wearing an Blue top for fairness, they should be in Sudie uniform bottoms. Thank you for making every dress-up day a super day at Sudie!
