Hello parents and students! My name is Mrs. Hudson and I am teaching 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math this year. I am very excited and proud to teach at Lead Hill School! This is my second year at Lead Hill and I absolutely love it.  Math can be very difficult and stressful for many students. My goal for this year is to make middle school math a wonderful learning experience. I always loved math in school, and I believe that is in large part due to the amazing math teacher I had. Hopefully I can have that same positive influence on each student's time in middle school math.
