LAPTOPS!
The second set of 30 Laptops paid for by PAC arrived last Thursday and will be in full circulation with all the students later this week. The Principal and Teachers have created a schedule for use of the laptops and iPads to ensure all the students in the school are having regular, continual access to these devices for use on a multitude of projects. PAC also funded a set of two new iPads for students working one-on-one with Resource Teachers.

Wednesday October 26th:  Pumpkin Carving & PAC Meeting,  6pm-8pm, Lunchroom
Students: please come carve a pumpkin, and keep it on display at the school as part of the upcoming Halloween parade the following Monday! PAC is selling really big beautiful pumpkins complete with a tea light, for $3. We will have volunteer additional grade 6/7 students and babysitters on hand to help the younger kids with their carving. Parents too of course! We will have extra pumpkin cutting kits on hand to share. We will have some snacks and beverages for the students on hand.
PAC MEETING 6pm-8pm, Lunchroom
Our October meetings always includes the PAC Executive annual elections. Each position goes up for election each year.  The positions are as follows: PAC CHAIR, VICE CHAIR INTERNAL, VICE CHAIR EXTERNAL, CO-TREASURER, CO-TREASURER, CO-SECRETARY, CO-SECRETARY.
While many Executive members are interested in coming back again for another great year, the positions are always made open and available to anyone who is interested. Note: both the secretary positions have been vacant for quite a while and a few of us have split up those duties among ourselves. Please note that these Secretary roles include a lot more than merely taking minutes at PAC Meetings and it would be great to have these roles filled as it would take a ton of work off some of our plates! And a lot of it is super fun stuff!!
If you are interested in volunteering for a PAC Executive position please submit your name and position sought, or if you would like to know more about any of the positions and what they entail, please email marina@freshstrategy.com or hudsonpac@gmail.com and we will refer you to the appropriate Exec representative to give you all the information you need!
Last but not least: every parent at the school is part of PAC. We are all PAC members! Everyone has a vote. Please join us at the meetings and vote on many important topics, including the PAC Executive Elections! See you on October 26th!
Friday October 28th: DIWALI FEST!!  It’s the must-attend event of the season! Henry Hudson’s first ever Diwali Fest!! 5pm-8pm

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.
BABYSITTING ROSTER!!
The PAC has prepared an updated roster (see https://hudsonpac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Henry-Hudson-PAC-general-babysitting-roster-Fall-2016.pdf) of Hudson students (and recent ex-students) who have completed the babysitting course and are looking for babysitting work. There are currently 13 sitters on the list!  If you are trying to find babysitting in your neighbourhood, please consider using the roster to connect with the sitters’ parents and see if one of the sitters on this list might fit for you.General guidelines for use are included with the roster, which we hope will serve to build new connections among families with children at Hudson or in HOOSC.  We intend to update the list each time a new babysitting course is offered at the school.  If you have any comments, concerns or questions please contact Hudson parent Alan Patola Moosmann, 604-736-8596, apatola@telus.net
HOT LUNCH!!
We are looking for more volunteers to help out at Hot Lunch on Tues and Thurs.   Shifts can be like once a month for 2 hours or every week if you want! Contact Marina Bondarenko “Marina (hot lunch help)” <musea79@hotmail.com>

THANK YOU!
On behalf of the Hudson PAC, a huge thank you to all the volunteer parents who came out to help with ushering the students to and from Kits Pool, and helping out at the Pool. Special kudos to Victoria S. and Marina B. for doing double shifts in the Pool with Savannah, Nina and me! Savannah King was fantastic! The students really enjoyed her talks and loved playing in the pool with her. They showed her their talents and she showed us a few things as well! It was a wonderful afternoon! Kits Pool staff were super great! Thanks very much to Nina for bringing this wonderful Olympian to Hudson!  (I think the thing I loved the most was learning that Savannah is scared to death of the ocean!! She only likes to swim in pools… but holy can she swim!!)  ~ MP
