HATCH: Classes in Hudson New York

Even if you can't make it to our Tuesday afternoon classes at the Hudson Area Library or our Wednesday program at Kite's Nest, I hope you consider attending the meeting  on Wednesday, September 10 at 5:00pm 108 Front Street, Hudson.


We hope to build a collective of teachers and students to make homeschooling more effective and possible for more people in the area and, in addition to discussing our upcoming schedule, we hope to hear about what people want and need for upcoming semesters, and what ideas and skills people might bring in to help HATCH and it's partners build a homeschooling movement in Hudson that works for more families.

So come. Bring your concerns, questions, and ideas.
