Fourth graders are our Hudson currency bankers. Each 4th grade classroom is paired with a 2nd and 3rd grade classroom, to collect their savings. Fifth graders plan and host Career Day. The students write letters to our business partners, such as The Port of Long Beach, McDonald's, California Trucking Association, and US Customs. They also invite Long Beach Unified employees and other members of the community.
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.
