The Hudsonland Public School Board of Education convened for its regular meeting on June 13, 2024, with all members present except for Dr. Hooper, who is expected to join in the coming weeks. The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the approval of the agenda, which was unanimously accepted.

A highlight of the evening was the recognition of Madeline Murchison, a Girl Scout who recently achieved the prestigious Gold Award, an honor bestowed upon fewer than 6% of Girl Scouts annually. Murchison's project focused on enhancing awareness of choice reading opportunities within the district, a subject she has been actively promoting for nearly two years. She created pamphlets and brochures aimed at educating families about the reading selection process, which is relatively new to many parents.

During her presentation, Murchison expressed gratitude to her project advisor and the school board for their support, emphasizing the impact of her work on the community. The board acknowledged her efforts with a token of appreciation, celebrating her commitment to both her project and the Hudsonville Public Schools.

As she prepares to enter her senior year, Murchison confirmed her intention to continue her involvement in Girl Scouts and participate in a service camp on Mackinac Island during the summer. The board commended her dedication and the positive influence she has made in the district.
