Hudson PAC Direct Donation Appeal
A big thank-you from the PAC to everyone who contributed to this fundraising appeal, now closed. You donated a total of $5,685!
All of this will go towards activities (such as sports, dance and arts programs for the whole school) and resources (field trip support for each class, technology upgrades, etc.) to enhance the educational experience of every Hudson student. Please come out to a PAC meeting or visit the website to learn more about our budget for this year.
Individual thank you notes will be mailed out with the tax receipts once the Vancouver School Board has prepared the latter. In the meantime, please know that the PAC is grateful for your support!
Red Cross Babysitting Course – Friday November 27 (Pro-D day)
Please see the attached form for details of this one-day course at Hudson open to students in Grade 6 and 7.
The PAC will be updating both the general list of Hudson students available to provide babysitting to Hudson families and the roster of students who provide childminding at the monthly PAC meetings once this course has taken place. Each child who wishes to be included on either list must have completed this course or an equivalent.
Registration deadlines are Nov. 19 by mail, and Nov. 26 electronically. Red Cross Baby Sitting Form.
Guest Speaker at PAC meeting in the school library – Wednesday November 18

Our regular meeting will begin half an hour earlier, at 6:00, to provide time for Dr. Cohen’s presentation from 7:00 to 8:00. The PAC is providing an honorarium, and we will also have a jar on hand should anyone wish to top this up with a small anonymous donation (say $5 or thereabouts). All parents and guardians are welcome; as always, free childminding and refreshments are provided.
