Letter from the Principal |
Dear SUA Families,
As we look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving, we are reminded of all for which we are thankful—our Arrows, our faculty and staff, our families and our friends. We are truly blessed that you share your daughters with us, and for that we are undeniably thankful!
We will have a Thanksgiving Prayer Service and National Honor Society Induction Ceremony at the end of the day on Tuesday, November 26. Students will have an early dismissal at 2:00 p.m. following these events.
The Main Office will be closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday beginning Wednesday, November 27 through Friday, November 29. The Main Office will reopen on Monday, December 2. Our next Parent Newsletter will be sent on Wednesday, December 4.
Enjoy your time with your family and have a safe Thanksgiving Break!

Legally Blonde tickets are on sale now!
There are two ways to purchase tickets: on the Valentine Theatre official website or by calling the Valentine Theatre box office at 419-242-2787. Please note the following:
• Ticket fraud has become a big problem for all local theatres. The Valentine attempts to combat this by only selling tickets online to zip codes within a 60-mile radius. If you have family members attempting to buy tickets outside of this radius, they will have to call.
• Online ticket purchases carry additional online transaction fees. Before January 1, phone orders do not carry additional fees. However, on January 1, all credit and debit card orders (online, in person, and on the phone) will charge fees. Get your tickets before January 1 to avoid additional fees.
• All tickets are non-exchangeable and non-refundable. If we are close to selling out, SUA will start a Google Doc where people can list tickets to sell/exchange with each other. The Valentine Theatre will not refund or exchange any tickets for a different performance for any reason.
