Classroom Makeover Alert 🍎 Donna Schantz's Kindergarten class got a surprise update as part of our Classroom Makeover initiative at Hemlock Public School District! 📚 With this makeover, we dove into the Science of Reading (SOR) for a hands-on approach to phonics and reading.
Because our focus is on creating a vibrant learning space with the latest techniques, we added a magical touch with 17 sets of Beginner Word Work Magnetic Letters to Mrs. Schantz's classroom.

It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday and today we're featuring the steadfast Stacey Langworthy, a 2nd grade teacher at K.C. Ling Elementary, who has taught at Hemlock Public School District for 22 years.
We wanted you to get to know Mrs. Langworthy a little better, so here are some fun facts about her:
• Her favorite subject in school was English.
• She has always wanted to be a teacher.
• If she won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, she’d open a little bookstore overlooking the ocean.
• We asked her what her students may be surprised to learn about her and she shared that she struggled to read and comprehend at a young age.
• What accomplishment fills her with pride so far this year? Checking off a bucket-list item by visiting the Grand Canyon.
Well, we think you're pretty grand, and are so grateful to have you in our Huskie Pack, Mrs. Langworthy!

This week's #StaffSpotlight is on the tender-hearted Theresa Morgan, a Paraprofessional at K.C. Ling Elementary who has worked here at Hemlock Public School District for over 20 years.
Other than having two nicknames as a child (Mother Nature and Brillo), here are some other nuggets of information you may not know about her:
• Her favorite part of her job is when she sees our kids succeeding; she said it just melts her heart. Her least favorite part is not being able to help someone, and feeling as though what she's doing isn't working.
• The Disney character she feels best represents her is the grandma in Moana. The love that she has for her grand-daughter is how Miss Theresa feels about all her grand-babies.
• Her worst fashion decision was sporting a mullet.
• A song she could listen to on repeat is Country Roads by John Denver.
• She loves to paint rocks and hide them for others to find.
We’re grateful you’re part of the Huskie Pack, Theresa. Thank you for all you do for our amazing students here at HPSD.

In a poignant moment at the newly renovated Wallace Field, Bea Wallace, wife of the legendary coach Bob Wallace, alongside their daughter, Leslie Wallace-Merchant, stood near the end zone, holding a football in her arm. The scene was a powerful testament to the enduring legacy of Coach Wallace, whose indomitable spirit and love for the game continues to inspire generations.
Both Bea and Leslie were stalwarts of support for Coach Bob Wallace throughout his illustrious career. Their presence on the field was not just a tribute to a husband and father but a celebration of the entire Wallace family's contribution to our community and the world of football.
The refurbished Wallace Field stands as a testament to Coach Wallace's monumental influence on the sport within the Hemlock community. It's only fitting that the two most important women in his life, Bea and Leslie, graced the venue with their presence, symbolically holding onto the sport that meant so much to their beloved family patriarch.
