101 Ways to Be Positively Involved in Hemlock Public School District

The Best Way to Tell Hemlock's Story?
Open the Doors and Let People See for Themselves!
Following their regular October meeting, the Hemlock Board of Education traded the boardroom for an inside look at the incredible things happening at Hemlock High School, and what a visit it was.
Led by Principal Keith Green, Board members toured the updated Larry Gariglio Theatre, now serving as our cafeteria space, and connected with Food Service Director Billie Jo Davis. They visited our talented band students, explored the incredible new Performing Arts Center with Director Danyelle Hillman, and wrapped up their visit at the Lockwood STEM Center, where innovation, creativity, and opportunity are coming to life.
But here's what made the evening special.
It wasn't just the buildings.
It was the PEOPLE.
Our students and staff absolutely knocked it out of the park! The pride, professionalism, enthusiasm, and ownership they demonstrated were outstanding. Every stop told a story of what happens when a school community believes in its students, invests in their future, and refuses to settle for ordinary.
Buildings don't create excellence. People do. But when you give exceptional people exceptional opportunities, incredible things happen.
There is a difference between talking about public education and actually walking through the doors to see it in action. At Hemlock, we welcome that closer look because we are proud of what our students and staff are accomplishing every single day.
Thank you to our Board of Education for your leadership, to Principal Green for hosting, and especially to the students and staff who made this visit such a tremendous success.
Small Town. Big Opportunities. Real Results.
This is Hemlock. This is what we're building together. And we're just getting started!

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.

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.

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.

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.
