We have had a great start to our homecoming week. Great energy and participation in our spirit days. We have our first pep rally this coming Friday during last period, and a dance in the weeks to follow. The details of both can be found below.

As we are around the mid-point of the first semester, now may be a good time for students and families to check in on students' grades in ASPEN together. Students have been hard at work, including our student government (pictured below).

The Grade 9 Health Screenings that were to be held this week need to be re-scheduled. We will let students and families know when to expect them.

Have a great rest of your week, Hudson High!

Did you know every pear in the U.S. is hand-picked? When picking this fruit, look for pears without bruising. Pears are ripe when the area near the stem feels soft when pressed – and they ripen best at room temperature. Eating pears provides essential gut health and promotes stable blood sugar management!
