On December 15, 2025, Hudson K–8 School hosted a successful school-wide Spelling Bee that highlighted the hard work, dedication, and academic excellence of our students. Participants in grades 3–8 demonstrated strong vocabulary skills, focus, and poise as they advanced through multiple rounds of competition. The event provided students with a meaningful opportunity to apply their learning in a supportive and encouraging environment while building confidence and sportsmanship. We are proud of all participants for their perseverance and commitment, and we extend our congratulations to Jacorri Boggan for winning the competition. We also thank our teachers, staff, and families for their continued support in making this event a memorable success.

Our K–2 students had a wonderful time visiting the McWane Science Center on December 19, 2025. Their day was filled with discovery as they explored hands-on exhibits, participated in exciting STEM activities, and interacted with engaging displays that brought learning to life. The trip sparked curiosity, encouraged creativity, and helped students see science in fun and meaningful ways. It was truly a memorable learning experience for everyone.

Dear Families,

I am so excited to be jumping into my second year as the Math Coach at Hudson K-8. As the Math Coach will work with grades K-5. I look forward to working with you and your scholar this year. We have so much planned and so much to accomplish! I can not wait to get started. Together I know we can lay the foundation to a successful start in your scholar’s educational voyage. I am so fortunate to be a part of that voyage as we work together to prepare your scholar for the future.

The purpose of a math coach is to improve outcomes for students by providing evidence-based professional learning to educators. Every level of the education system has a responsibility to provide equitable education to all learners. Goals set at each level work together to positively impact student learning and growth.

A little about me! I am a mother of three and a grandmother of two. This is my 27th year in education. My college background is in Social Work and Elementary Education. I spend my free time traveling and with family and friends.

Below you will find links of math activities and resources you can do with your scholar at home. Just simply click on your scholar’s grade level to access various resources.

Families + Schools = Student Success

In 2019, the Alabama Literacy Act (ALA) was signed into law to ensure that public school students are able to read at or above grade level by the end of third grade. See Ala. Code Section 16-6G-1, et. seq.

These resources include, but are not limited to the following:

• The ALA Implementation Guide: Phase I

• Alabama Literacy Act Implementation Guide Phase II

• An Administrators Guide for Implementing the ALA (Official release in fall 2021)
