One big event that took place was the Holiday Shop. We want to take time to thank all of our amazing volunteers! So many of these events take many hands to pull off and we sincerely appreciate it! The kids had fun and I’m sure they can’t wait for you to open the gifts they picked out!

The Holiday Program also took place and the kids did an amazing job! Mrs. Bretz puts so much work into this and it shows!! If you wanted a DVD of the program, your order was due to school by today.

One way to show your appreciation is by making a donation in their name to the Hudsonville Education Foundation. It’s a gift that will continue to give. When a donation is made to the Foundation, the name of the honoree will be posted in each building and notification of your donation will be sent to them.The Hudsonville Education Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that was founded to enrich and enhance education in Hudsonville Public Schools by funding projects and programs that will directly impact Hudsonville students.
