SWEATS FOR VETS
Mark Vital (Veteran 1st Lieutenant with the Army's Combat Engineers), who spoke at our 2023 Veterans Day assembly, is involved in Sweats for Vets. This organization distributes new Boston sports team hoodies to homeless veterans. Sweats for Vets started at the Worcester shelter ten years ago. In 2023, over 2,200 hoodies were distributed at over 104 locations in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, the veteran homeless population keeps growing.
In the Mulready ohana, no one gets left behind or forgotten and our veterans are part of our ohana. So, we will take part in Sweats for Vets this year. A collection box will be placed by the office.
Please remember it needs to be a new Boston team hoodie - large sizes are preferred. Although all hoodies are welcomed, the Celtics hoodie is preferred this year.
Hello Ohana,
Later this fall students at Mulready will be taking part in our annual social-emotional screening. The information provided will be used to address issues related to social-emotional concerns and provide comprehensive and timely support for your child. The links below will bring you to English, Spanish, and Portuguese versions of a letter that explains the screening process and an opt-out Google form if you wish to not have your child participate in the screening.
If you have any questions, please email me or the district's Director of Student Services Cathy Kilcoyne (cakilcoyne@hudson.k12.ma.us).
Thank you.
Cathy Kilcoyne

FIRE SAFETY
FRIDAY SCIENTIST
Friday Scientist has begun in Mrs. Regh's class! The first scientist made magnetic slime. She combined, water, glue, glitter, iron oxide, Borax, and starch. What started as a wet mixture, when the starch was added became slime consistency. Because there were iron oxide shavings in the mixture, the slime became magnetized. A magnet was placed against the slime and the slime was attracted to the magnet.

BUS APP FOR PARENTS - NEW CODE
First Student Bus Company has provided our district with FirstView. The app for parents is called ParentView and it gives parents direct access to the status of their child’s bus. ParentView tracks the bus on the map allowing parents to view and even set up notifications around their pick-up/drop-off location, so they can be alerted when the bus is close.
Getting started with FirstView is simple. See the links below to download the app from Google Play or the App Store, register for an account, and enter the required code; District code for Hudson Public Schools 2024-2025 school year is U5B2.
