We had a packed house this week for Young 5s & Kindergarten Round-Up—and what a wonderful evening it was.

More than 75 families joined us to get their first glimpse of life as a Hemlock Huskie. Our future students had a blast participating in their very own “signing day,” proudly leaving a handprint on their certificates and officially beginning their school journey.

Families had the opportunity to meet teachers, explore the classrooms, and learn about the many opportunities waiting for students here in our small town.

We can’t wait to welcome this next group of little Huskies in the fall. The adventure is just beginning.

📚 This week, K C Ling Elementary welcomed another special guest reader as part of March is Reading Month.

Michigan State Representative Tim Kelly spent time with our students reading a story and encouraging them to keep exploring the world through books. Students gathered with excitement as they listened closely, shared smiles, and enjoyed the opportunity to hear a story from a community leader.

Visits like this help reinforce an important message for our students. Reading is powerful, and it is valued far beyond the classroom. When leaders from our state take time to sit with students and read a book, it shows that learning, curiosity, and imagination matter.

We appreciate Representative Kelly taking time to visit K C Ling Elementary and celebrate reading with our Huskies.

At Hemlock Public School District, we are proud of the strong culture of literacy in our schools. March is Reading Month, and it continues to be a wonderful opportunity to remind students that every great journey begins with a book.

📚 This week, we had a special guest reader at K C Ling Elementary as part of March is Reading Month.

Michigan State Representative Matthew Bierlein stopped by to spend time with our students and share a story. Classrooms were full of energy and excitement as students gathered to listen, ask questions, and celebrate the joy of reading together.

Moments like this help remind students that reading matters everywhere. When community leaders visit classrooms, it sends a powerful message that learning matters and that books can open doors to new ideas and opportunities.

We appreciate Representative Bierlein taking time out of his schedule to visit our school and encourage our young readers.

At Hemlock Public School District, we love seeing our students curious, engaged, and excited about books. March is Reading Month continues to be a wonderful reminder that strong readers grow into strong learners.

As the snow melts and the frost clears, it can only mean one thing: it’s time to get back on the fields. While we’re all dreaming of that first opening whistle, two of our finest are behind the scenes making sure everything is pitch-perfect. Our Head Mechanic, Rick Franzel, and Custodian, Dean Keeler, are officially shifting into high gear.

From tuning up the mowers to ensuring every piece of equipment is primed and ready for action, these guys are the backbone of our spring season. It’s no small task to shake off the winter dust, but Rick and Dean handle it with the kind of expertise and dedication that keep our facility running like a well-oiled machine.

Brian Pennington from Wildfire Credit Union recently stopped by Hemlock Public School District to connect with High School Principal Keith Green and Superintendent Don Killingbeck to explore partnership opportunities that could benefit our students and community.

The conversation focused on ways we can continue strengthening financial literacy and real-world learning opportunities for students. Strong partnerships with local organizations like Wildfire Credit Union help bring practical knowledge into the classroom and prepare students with skills they will use for the rest of their lives.

We appreciate Brian taking the time to visit and look forward to exploring ways we can work together to support student success and financial education for the Huskie Pack.
