In Mr. Slate’s Physics classes, students put concepts into action through hands-on activities, experimentation, problem-solving, and discussion. They’re challenged to think like scientists, ask questions, test ideas, and use physics to explain the world around them.
Learning physics by doing physics. 🔬

#StaffSpotlight | Suzanne Messing
There’s a new Huskie in the Pack this year—and she’s bringing 34 years of classroom experience with her.
Meet Sue Messing, our new instructional coach serving the middle and high schools. Her focus? Encouraging active learning and student engagement and helping our teachers create classrooms where students are doing more than just sitting and listening.
• School days: Sue graduated from Mt. Clemens High School before heading to Michigan State University, where she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. (And yes, she says it: GO GREEN!)
• A whole lot of teaching: Sue taught Chemistry and Forensic Science at Montrose High School for 34 years, retiring this past summer. But retirement didn’t last long. After four years of thinking of herself as a Huskie—thanks to marrying Hemlock’s own Dave Messing—she officially joined the working Huskie Pack this school year.
• Who would play her in the movie of her life: Julia Roberts, because she always plays characters with a little spunk - and we can get behind that choice.
• Fun fact: In high school, Sue was Student Council president, played violin, and was a member of both the cheer and tennis teams. Basically, she was keeping busy.
• Favorite subject: Science, of course!
• Her advice for students: “You get out what you put in.”
Welcome to the Pack, Mrs. Messing. We’re excited to see the experience, energy and perspective you’ll bring to our classrooms this year.

It’s also where friendships are formed, confidence grows, laughter happens on the playground, and kids find their people.
Because belonging matters, too.
And around here, Huskies make the best besties.

SATURDAY IS GOING TO BE A BIG ONE AT HEMLOCK! 💙
The Sawdust Days parade kicks off a full day of fun in our community, and we’re keeping the excitement going right here on campus!
STEMdust Days will welcome families to the Lockwood STEM Center immediately following the parade. Come explore, create and experience some hands-on STEM fun!
Then, come back this evening for Family Movie Night in the Legend Gym, featuring Toy Story 5! Hosted by the Fine Arts Boosters and RTCA, the evening is a chance to gather with family and friends, enjoy some music and social time, and settle in for a fun night together.
Whether you’re joining us in the afternoon, coming back for the movie, or making a day of it, we’d love to see you!
There’s something for everyone, and we can’t wait to spend Saturday with our Hemlock community!
#HemlockHuskies #STEM #Since1863

This 8th grader and active Student Council member is a wonderful example of what it means to Lead the Pack. Jaxon leads by example with his quiet, steady presence, genuine kindness, respect, and strong character.
We’re proud to have Jaxon representing Hemlock Middle School. ⭐

Fresh produce, homemade treats, local vendors, friendly faces — and all the flavors that make this time of year so good. 🍂
Come stroll, shop, visit, and enjoy a little bit of fall right here in our community.
See you at the market!

The trip had a few unexpected twists when heavy wildfire smoke rolled in, but they made the best of it! Soren, who is headed into 1st grade this fall, enjoyed some puzzle time, a visit to a cheese plant, shopping, and, of course, lots of good food.
Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that don’t go exactly according to plan. Thanks for sharing your #PawsomeSummerAdventure with us, Soren and Hollis.

Allow us to turn that frown upside down with this adorable Huskie.
You’re welcome.

We’ve heard the rumors.
Apparently, you have to:
• Jump through flaming hoops
• Consume 24 hot dogs in one sitting
• Possess advanced Rocket Slushie engineering skills
We’re here to set the record straight.
The bar is surprisingly low.
Do you have a pulse?
Congratulations. You’re qualified.
We need volunteers to help make Huskie concessions happen — and every shift helps support our Sports Boosters, who turn concession sales into equipment, uniforms, scholarships, and opportunities for our student-athletes.
No flaming hoops required. Sign up today and join the concession crew!
Sign up for the Middle School: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4FAAAC2AA3F85-65174604-2026?fbclid=IwY2xjawUXtcJwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMTNydTV5bnhpZlhjekRma3ZzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEea7oimcGGwNR85H_t1OlcD-lJU-KJTN2lf9UD-49ajDO2iZ-q8DpxYShpZK8_aem_C_wuTvRNF1erEbwxSJ6s-Q#/

Sure, we need someone who knows their way around a kitchen. Someone who can work with ingredients, prepare great food, stay organized, and help keep things moving.
But we’re looking for more than someone who simply cooks food.
We’re looking for someone who wants to be part of our Food Service team and step into a leadership role within the department. Someone who understands that feeding kids is about more than what goes on the tray.
We want someone who knows how to roll in a little bit of love, or, well, a WHOLE LOT OF LOVE, into every dish we serve the Huskie Pack.
Someone who takes pride in their work. Someone who loves kids. Someone who supports their teammates, brings positive energy to the kitchen, and understands that a great meal and a warm smile can make a difference in a student's day.
If you’re looking for just another job, this might not be it.
But if you love food, love people, can lead, and want to become part of a school community that takes care of one another, we would LOVE to talk with you.
Come cook with us. Come lead with us. Come be part of the Huskie Pack. Click the link to apply: https://hemlockps.bamboohr.com/careers/314

It was great working with G, who took excellent care of our guys and helped them explore plenty of possibilities. We are going to hold off on the official reveal for now. Perhaps this is what they will wear, but that seems highly unlikely!
We are grateful to G and Saginaw Suit & Alterations for the time, attention, and hospitality they showed our young men. We cannot wait for everyone to see the final look!
