Hemlock Public School District - Innovate, Collaborate, Educate

A Great Day for Hemlock

We are incredibly proud to celebrate two outstanding Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce award recipients with strong Hemlock connections.

McNalley Furniture and Office Supplies, led locally by Lindsay McNalley Kerry, was honored with the Outstanding Small Business Award.

McNalley has been much more than a vendor to Hemlock Public School District. They have been a trusted community partner, helping us create functional, welcoming, and student-centered spaces while consistently demonstrating what it means to invest in the communities you serve. Lindsay also continues to give back to Hemlock through her service on our Board of Education and throughout the community.

Greg Turner and Pumford Construction were recognized with the Dr. Samuel H. Shaheen Vision of Free Enterprise Award.

Pumford's connection to Hemlock goes well beyond construction projects. Greg has been a relationship builder, problem solver, community champion, and tremendous partner in helping turn big ideas into reality. From the Lockwood STEM Center to our most recent facility improvements, Greg and the Pumford team have repeatedly demonstrated that great partnerships are about more than bricks and mortar. They are about investing in people and communities.

These awards recognize two businesses and leaders who understand something we value deeply in Hemlock. Strong communities are built when people step forward, work together, and invest in something bigger than themselves.

Congratulations to Lindsay McNalley Kerry and the McNalley team, and to Greg Turner and the entire Pumford Construction team.

Well deserved. We are proud to have you as part of the Huskie Pack and even more proud to call you friends and partners.

Huskie Pride isn’t something you put on—it’s something you feel.

We show up. We cheer loud. We look out for each other.
We’re all in because that’s what the Pack does.

#HemlockTogether #HuskiePride

A little sunshine, fresh air, and a good friend are pretty hard to beat. ☀️

Just another beautiful day to be a Huskie.

Great things happen when the pack comes together!

Our “Run With the Pack” event brought staff together to build connections, share ideas, and plan for the year ahead. The room was full of good conversations and a shared commitment to helping our students succeed.

Thank you to everyone who helped plan the event and brought their energy and ideas. This is how we Pull the Sled, together.

October is National Principals Month, and we’re celebrating the four people who lead our buildings with care, purpose and a whole lot of heart.

Thank you to Keith Green, Lori Gensch, Cory Snider and Amanda Sensabaugh for the countless ways you support our students, staff and families every day. From big decisions to little moments, your leadership helps make Hemlock a place where kids can learn, grow and thrive.

We’re grateful for you—and pretty lucky to have you leading our Huskies.

We may have gotten the roles a little mixed up here.
One came dressed as the beekeeper.
The other showed up as the bee.

But judging by this photo, I think we all know who is really keeping who in line.

Somewhere between the antennae, the wings, and that very confident smile, the bee clearly took control of the operation.

Turns out, the keeper may be the one being managed.

Just another day with the Huskie Pack, where even the costumes come with a little personality.

For this week's #TeacherFeature, we’re turning up the volume and introducing you to Kylie Hawkins, our elementary music teacher.

• Why music education? In high school, music became an outlet for Kylie—a way to express herself and connect with others. She wanted to give her students that same opportunity: to create, explore and express their emotions through music.

• Huskie years: This is Kylie’s 5th year teaching—and her 5th year as a Huskie.

• What she loves most: Watching students realize, “Hey, I CAN do this!” Whether they’re learning an instrument or finding their voice, Kylie loves seeing students recognize their progress and look back at the end of the year amazed at how far they’ve come.

• Fun fact: Kylie is trilingual! She has been taking German and Arabic lessons for years. Talk about adding a few more languages to the music room!

• Words to carry with them: “Even if you stumble, you’re still moving forward.” Learning isn’t always easy, but Kylie wants her students to know that with hard work and perseverance, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.

We’re so glad Kylie is helping our youngest Huskies find their voices—and maybe a little more confidence along the way. 🎶

More than 70 senior citizens joined us at Hemlock Middle School today for an afternoon of bingo, laughter and connection—and our students were there to serve them every step of the way.

These are the moments that remind us what it means to be a community of learners. Our students have so much to learn from the generations who came before them, and our community’s seniors have so much to share with the generation coming up behind them.

When our students serve their community, they’re learning that being a Huskie is about more than what happens inside a classroom. It’s about showing up, making connections and taking care of one another.

Different generations. One community. One Huskie Pack.

Give them something worth getting excited about.

A welder’s torch. A science experiment. A new idea. A problem they can solve. Sometimes the spark that changes everything starts with simply letting kids explore.

#PullTheSled

Hands-on. Minds-on. Future-focused.

We want our students to do more than memorize the answer. We want them to know how to think, create, collaborate, problem-solve, and bring ideas to life.

#HemlockTogether #Since1863

Being present matters. Students gain valuable learning experiences, build friendships, and stay on track when they attend school consistently.

Middle school is serious business.
Fortunately, Principal Gensch doesn’t take herself too seriously. 😂

The ability to lead, laugh, connect and occasionally be the punchline? That’s a pretty good combination when you’re working with middle schoolers.

A ribbon cutting is great. A partnership is even better.

We officially cut the ribbon on the Wildfire Credit Union Pavilion at Wallace Field, and this one is about much more than a new place to watch a game.

When we looked at this corner of Wallace Field, we saw an opportunity to create something different. A place where families could gather, friends could connect, kids could hang out, and our community could enjoy events together.

Wildfire Credit Union saw the vision too.

Their investment helped us take an underused space and turn it into something special for our students, families, alumni, and community. And they didn't just write a check and put their name on it. They showed up. They joined us for Homecoming, handed out gear to our kids, connected with families, and celebrated right alongside our community.

That is what a great community partnership looks like.

Thank you to the entire Wildfire Credit Union team for investing in Hemlock and helping us continue to create experiences that bring people together.

The ribbon is officially cut. The Pavilion is open. And judging by the smiles, I think this corner of Wallace Field has found its purpose.

Small Town. Big Opportunities. Hemlock Together.

It’s Homecoming Day, Huskies.

The floats are ready.
The field is ready.
There's Huskie pride bursting from the seams.
And we’re ready to GO.

We’ll see you there, Huskies. Let's go!
