Change in À La Carte Pricing - Next Week
As a reminder, a change in à la carte food item pricing will go into effect beginning Monday throughout the district. Included below is the full message sent out to families regarding the change.
"Hudson School District Families,
Please note that effective November 1, the cost of à la carte food items available for students will increase by $0.10 to $0.25, depending on the item. The price rise is necessary due to an increase in food and labor costs. Examples of à la carte items include chips, beverages, and cookies. The cost of a standard breakfast and lunch will remain unchanged.
Thank you for your understanding,
Dan Moulis, Superintendent"

Hudson Sustainability Committee's Pumpkin Smash - November 8
The Sustainability Advisory Committee will be hosting the first of what they hope will become a fun annual event for families to look forward to on the Saturday after Halloween. Members of the Alvirne Sustainability Club are supporting this new event.
Parking will be in the upper lot of the CTE center (outside the entrance to the Café). Families will then walk down the gravel path/road with their pumpkins to where the Black Earth Carnival Truck will be parked.
Families can enjoy smashing their pumpkins by tossing them into the back of the truck while trying to hit artwork on slats of wood standing up along the top edge of the truck bed.
How often are children invited to make a mess?
Ultimately, the smashed pumpkins in the truck will be professionally composted by Black Earth. The pieces on the ground will be tilled into the soil of the Alvirne Community Garden to naturally compost over the winter.
