We’re looking to add another great leader to our Huskie coaching staff. 👟 HPSD is hiring a Middle School Track Assistant Coach to help guide and support our student-athletes this season. This role is about more than running drills and timing laps—it’s about building confidence, encouraging perseverance, and helping young athletes discover what they’re capable of.
If you have a passion for working with students, a love for the sport, and a desire to be part of a team that believes in showing up for kids, we’d love to hear from you.

📚 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.

Some teachers never really leave your heart. 🍎 Though it’s been a couple of years since we said goodbye to our beloved Spanish teacher, affectionately known as Profe K, she continues to hold a special place in our Huskie family.
Recently, our Pompon team invited her back as a special guest for their Senior Night performance at the basketball game. What followed was exactly what you’d expect from this community — hugs, smiles, and so much love.
Afterward, she shared, “I will forever treasure this memory and these photos. These kids are just so great, and I miss them.”
The feeling is mutual.
Once a Huskie, always a Huskie. Thank you to our Pommers for honoring a teacher who poured so much of herself into our students.

Today at Hemlock Elementary, the real stars were not the readers.
They were the listeners.
March is Reading Month is always special, but walking into classrooms today was a powerful reminder of why it matters so much.
Students leaned forward on the carpet.
Hands shot up before questions were even finished.
Laughter filled the room when a character made a silly choice.
Eyes widened at plot twists.
You could feel curiosity.
You could feel imagination.
You could feel confidence growing.
Our students were engaged, thoughtful, and joyful. They asked big questions. They made connections. They encouraged one another. They showed what it looks like to be active learners.
And none of that happens by accident.
It happens because teachers create classrooms where reading is alive. It happens because support staff help create safe, welcoming spaces. It happens because building leadership sets a tone where learning is both serious and joyful at the same time.
One highlight of the day was seeing students get up and move as part of a reading visit. When a story turned into movement and dancing, the room did not lose focus. It gained energy. Students were laughing, participating, and fully engaged. That is the kind of learning environment that sticks.
Moments like today remind us why literacy is foundational. Reading builds confidence. Reading builds vocabulary. Reading builds imagination. Reading builds opportunity.
Most of all, reading builds futures.
We are incredibly proud of our students. The way they listen. The way they participate. The way they represent Hemlock every single day.
March is Reading Month is not about checking a box. It is about celebrating the joy of learning and the power of story.
And today, every member of our Administrative Office staff had the privilege of reading to students across the building. From finance to HR to curriculum to payroll, we were welcomed into classrooms to share stories and be part of the learning.
Hemlock Elementary reminded all of us what matters most.
