Each year, Hudson PTO provides HCSD staff the opportunity to apply for grants in our Fall and Spring Grants programs. These grants are funded by you – the parents, teachers, and students of Hudson who join PTO each year, buy Spirit Wear, support our Rewards programs and events such as the Pancake Breakfast. Just take a look below at some of the fantastic items PTO has granted for Hudson schools throughout the years.
In addition to the grants listed below, Hudson PTO is making two special one-time gifts to support a new playground for East Woods and a bookstore at the new Hudson Middle School, both to be built at the end of the district’s construction.
