Sixth graders buy and sell items at their Student Store. In order to learn about trade, Hudson students visit US Customs. The fabulous staff at the Long Beach Unified Purchasing Department have prepared our students to be good buyers and entrepreneurs. Hudson students are given a comprehensive tour of the warehouse and purchasing departments. This helps the sixth graders to operate their student store.
Seventh graders develop and manage a desk top publishing company.
Their first business venture was to design, print and sell Fiscally Fit business cards. Also, they have developed advertisements and coupons for our business partners, such as McDonald's, Super Taco, and The Kite Connection. Business partners, such as KLON - FM 88.1, act as advisors to both our teachers and students. In addition, a mentorship program has been developed with Poly High's Pac Rim Academy. Our students help Poly students with an International Trade Fair which is held at Hudson School in May.
