Week of May 27, 2025
Congratulations to Hudson Middle School for earning 8th place at the US National Tournament! With a field of 50 state champions and 10 state-runner up teams, Hudson Middle School grabbed everyone’s attention and has established itself as a national powerhouse Science Olympiad program! The team finished in the top 10 in a whopping 11 of the 23 events, and earned a bronze medal in Microbe Mission (Anna Barger/Iti Desai), silver medals in Ecology (Anna Barger/Ryan Voigt), Fossils (Jonathan Wu/Steven Fodor), and Optics (Anna Li/Calvin Harvey), and are National Champions in Road Scholar (Matthew Matyja/Morgan Griffiths)!
A photo from last week’s 7th grade Science STEM Egg Drop project! No worries - that’s a teacher on the roof! Students designed a contraption to (hopefully!) protect the egg from the drop!
Field Days this week were PHENOMENAL! A huge thank you to our PE teachers for planning the days, our staff and volunteers for supporting the events and our students, and to our student participants! Togetherness, fun, and laughter - just what we needed this week as a school family!

Students can pick up their own emergency medication, such as inhalers and epi-pens. They will need to come to the clinic on the last day of school to pick up. Parents will need to pick up their student’s daily medications. Any medication not picked up by June 4th will be discarded unless other arrangements have been made.
- Medication drop-off for the 2025-2026 school year will be available Monday, August 4th, 1pm-4pm. Students are not permitted to drop off medication; it must be done by the parent/guardian.
