Direct Donation Campaign

The Direct Donation Campaign was a huge success! We raised $9,027 of our $10,000 goal!! We had over 100 families donate which is the largest participation in recent memory. The fact that we got so close to the goal is testament to how all those $50 donations add up. Thank you to all the families that supported the fundraiser. A cheque has been given to the school, and the laptops will soon be ordered.

Winter Fair

Winter Fair is on Friday, December 15th from 3:00pm to 5:30pm in the gym.
PLEASE DONATE
The Winter Fair is just 8 days away and we urgently need more donations for the Kids-only-market and the Raffle. These two very popular events won’t be able to run without donations from our Hudson community.
For the kids-only-market we need new or like-new gift items for adults as well as children. Clear out your cupboards or hit the dollar store for items such as soap sets, candles, books, trinkets, household items, toys and games…
For the raffle prizes we need donations of items such as gift cards, brand new boxed toys, merchandise, ticket to events, gift baskets or whatever you could offer.
All kids-only-market and raffle items can be dropped off in the boxes in the school office. For raffle prizes please include your name or company name and the approximate value of the prize, or contact Nina at njanepatel@gmail.com.
In addition if you could donate a cake (homemade or store bought) to the cake walk, it would be very gratefully received. Please contact Stella at hudsonclassrep@outlook.com.
Advance ticket sales are now closed. All further ticket sales must now be at the Ticket Desk at the Winter Fair.
If you would like to get involved it isn’t too late to volunteer. Please contact Carly at carlykrug@gmail.com.
Many thanks to all those who have purchased tickets and donated their time and goods. We can’t do it without you!

New for term 2: Sportball will be joining us in the gym, after school on Tuesdays for a Kindie/Grade 1 focused session. If you don’t know Sportball, they provide a wonderful program where kids can explore a range of sports in a non-competitive way.
