Special thanks to ‘assistant coaches’ Carly, Stella for everything all season. Couldn’t do it without you two!! And thanks also to parent volunteers for stepping up and helping out… much needed and very appreciated! It has been a really great season!

DIRECT DONATION CAMPAIGN is UNDERWAY!!!
Many thanks to parents who responded so quickly by sending in donations to Hudson PAC last week! As mentioned, our goal is to raise $10,000 via Direct Donations so that we can continue to provide enhanced education and experiences for all our children. The Hudson PAC generates ALL its funds via only two initiatives: our Hot Lunch program, and our Direct Donation program. We encourage all parents to participate. We are asking for $50/student this year as our Direct Donation goal is $10,000. For more information and donation form please see our Direct Donation Appeal page.
