#TeacherFeature | Some Huskie stories come full circle, and Taylor Kelly’s journey to becoming a kindergarten teacher started right here in Hemlock.

• School days | Taylor graduated from Hemlock High School before earning her degree in Elementary Education from Saginaw Valley State University.

• A full-circle moment | As a Hemlock High School senior, Taylor had the opportunity to co-op in the Board Office, which was located in the elementary building at the time. With a little guidance from Lela Gronski, she discovered her love for teaching. Today, she gets to teach in the very same building where she attended elementary school and first discovered her passion for education!

• Huskie years | This is Taylor’s 3rd year teaching and her 2nd year as a Huskie!

• What she loves most | Getting to know the little things about her students—their stories, their excitement and the everyday moments they can’t wait to share. For Taylor, teaching is about so much more than academics. It’s about being someone her students feel comfortable talking to and building relationships that matter.

• Words to carry with them | It’s okay to make mistakes, ask for help and keep trying. You don’t have to be perfect to be successful. Believe in yourself, be kind to others and never stop learning.

From Hemlock student to Hemlock teacher, Taylor’s story is a wonderful reminder of the lasting impact educators can have—and how one encouraging person can help shape a future.

We’re glad you’re home, Taylor!

School funding can be confusing.
Let’s break it down in plain English.

Join Hemlock Board of Education Trustee David Messing this evening at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center for an informative conversation about the November ballot, why these proposals are on the ballot, and what they mean for Hemlock Public School District.

One election. Two votes. Three things you need to know.

Bring your questions and join the conversation. We hope to see you there!

Hide-and-seek rules are simple:

Find a good hiding spot.
Stay quiet.
Try not to laugh.

(That last one is usually the hardest.) 😄

We love the creativity, curiosity, and joy our Huskies bring to every corner of our schools. Around here, there’s always a little magic waiting to be found.

Safety first, because we put our kids first. 🚌

As we wrap up Bus Safety Week, let’s carry these reminders with us every day. Watch for bus lights, stop when required, stay alert around bus stops, and give our students the space and care they need to get to school and home safely.

It takes all of us to keep the Huskie Pack safe. Thanks for doing your part, Hemlock.

It takes a village to serve up the best concessions this side of the Tittabawassee. 🥨

As we head into the winter sports season, the Hemlock Sports Boosters need their village to keep the good food coming and the Huskies fueled up. Whether you can help for one shift or several, every volunteer makes a difference.

Holy Mole-y! It's Mole Day at Hemlock!

Who says chemistry can't be sweet?

Today, October 23rd, we're celebrating Mole Day, and our very own Instructional Coach, Sue Messing, is making sure the occasion comes with a little something extra!

Sue has been dropping off some delicious mole cookies for our staff to enjoy, bringing a little fun, a little science, and a whole lot of sweetness to the school day.

So, what's the big deal about 10/23?

In chemistry, a mole is a unit used to count incredibly tiny particles, like atoms and molecules. Just like a dozen means 12, one mole represents a whopping 6.02 × 10²³ particles! That's 602 sextillion, for anyone keeping count!

And because scientists appreciate a good celebration, Mole Day runs from 6:02 AM to 6:02 PM on 10/23.

A big thank you to Sue for finding another creative way to celebrate learning, support our staff, and remind us that science can be pretty sweet!

Small Town, Big Opportunities... and a whole lot of moles!

Happy Mole Day, Huskie Pack!

Congratulations to our Middle School Student of the Month, Naomi Messenger.

Naomi has done an outstanding job transitioning to middle school and has already proven herself to be a wonderful leader, helper, and classmate. She consistently demonstrates what it means to be a Huskie by following middle school expectations, showing kindness to others, and being a great friend to those around her. Naomi leads by example and helps make HMS a positive and welcoming place for everyone.

We are so proud of Naomi and the example she sets for her fellow Huskies! Keep up the great work, Naomi!

College costs add up, but earning college credits while still in high school can make a big difference.

Through Hemlock’s Early Middle College (EMC) program, students can get a head start on their college education while saving thousands in potential tuition costs.

It’s an opportunity to think ahead, get more out of your high school experience, and take the next step toward your future.

Your future starts here, Huskies!

Math is better with a buddy. 🧸✏️ Whether you’re solving problems or tackling tough equations, a little extra (squishy) support never hurts.

This duo was ready to crunch some numbers at K.C. Ling Elementary.

When two little Huskies ask Ms. Liz, one of our fabulous lunch ladies, for hair nets, what does she do? She delivers!

It’s the little things (and the people who make them happen) that make Hemlock special.

Safe bus rides are a team effort! 🚌

Our Huskies can help keep everyone safe by staying seated, keeping heads, arms, and papers inside the bus, talking quietly, and keeping aisles clear of books and bags.

And don’t forget those handrails when getting on and off!

Let’s make every ride a safe one.

#ThrowbackThursday to a wacky episode of Where’s Waldo? 🔎

Back in 2022, K.C. Ling staff traded their usual looks for spectacles, candy stripes, and a whole lot of Waldo.

Now that’s a staff that knows how to make Halloween a little more fun!
