Recently, a message was sent to all families in the district regarding an upcoming change to the cost of à la carte food items effective November 1. The full message can be found below:

"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"

The Alvirne Counseling Department continues to host college representatives for students to visit with. Representatives from the schools included below will be on-site in Hudson coming up next week.

The Food & Nutrition Services department is currently looking for a Food Service Manager at Hills Garrison Elementary School who has food service experience. The position is full-time with benefits, and the full description can be found here.

Seniors are invited to participate in New Hampshire Apply Day! This is an amazing opportunity for all Seniors to apply to any New Hampshire college for free! No cost at all! This event will be on Tuesday, October 21st, during the school day. Please sign up in the School Counseling Office. Once signed up, you will be given an assigned time to attend the event. New Hampshire college reps from all over the state will be at Alvirne. Anyone who participates in this event will be entered to win a $500 scholarship. We encourage all Seniors to take advantage of this great opportunity!

Alvirne Class Act and the music department will be hosting its annual Haunted Hayride event at the Hills House coming up October 24 and 25! More information in the event can be found in the flyer below.

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.
