Last week, Kenneth Bigelow, Alan McKenzie, and Chris McGinnis from the St. Charles Masonic Lodge #313 stopped by to drop off Child ID Kits as part of a new safety initiative with Hemlock Public School District. We are proud to partner to provide these critical resources, helping families stay prepared and supporting the well-being of our students. Kits will be distributed by the buildings next week. Together, we’re taking proactive steps to keep our community and children safe.

With students present and excited, a Classroom Makeover teacher request came along that was just too good to pass up. 📚 Superintendent Killingbeck made a quick stop by Ms. Hollingsworth's classroom to deliver a new whiteboard, a collection of books, and a whiteboard horseshoe table, creating an organized and inspiring space for learning. The students' excitement showed that it’s the little things that make a big difference.

In our Student of the Month series, we’re spotlighting a standout student each week from one of our four school buildings, and this week we're heading back over to Hemlock Elementary School.
This week’s star is Tenley Garstecki, a delightful student in Kindergarten. Her teacher, Ms. Hammis, said, "Tenley is a kind, caring student who is always working hard in the classroom. Tenley loves to be a helper and follows the rules and expectations in the classroom. She also has a huge heart and gives the best hugs!".
Congrats, Tenley 🌟 Way to represent our #HemlockHuskies.
