Big ideas. Creative thinking. Hands-on learning. 🤖💡
Some of our Ling Elementary STEAM classes recently participated in curriculum company SAM Labs’ end-of-the-year design showcase — and brought home the “Grand Innovator” award!
Students were recognized for the creative and innovative ways they used coding and everyday classroom materials to design and build prototypes. As part of the award, SAM Labs sent Makedo Cardboard Construction kits for students to use in STEAM class, a banner (pictured), and certificates honoring standout creativity in student designs.
We’re so proud of our young innovators and the engaging learning experiences happening in our classrooms every day!

Alumni Spotlight 🎓 Anthony Hagarty, a 2021 Hemlock graduate, was involved in FIRST Robotics, varsity soccer, and varsity golf. He valued Hemlock’s small-community feel paired with the wide range of opportunities available to students.
After graduation, Anthony earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Saginaw Valley State University. He credits Hemlock with helping him build strong problem-solving skills through both academics and extracurriculars.
A standout influence during his time at Hemlock was Mr. Boros, who challenged Anthony to think beyond perceived limits and take initiative—an approach that continues to shape his mindset today.
One of his favorite memories was competing in his first FIRST Robotics Competition, where months of hard work came together and teammates became lasting friends.
Today, Anthony serves as General Manager at Interpower Induction in Fraser, Michigan, where he leads plant operations producing induction tooling for automotive, aerospace, and medical applications—playing a role in the reliability of products people use every day.
His advice for current Huskies: Stay involved, challenge yourself academically, and don’t be afraid to put in the work—those habits will open doors sooner than you think.

Monday Memory
Flashback video. There was a junk yard on Pine Street. Today, that same space helps tell the Hemlock story.
What was once a place filled with scrap, rust, and things people were done with has become part of a campus built around opportunity, innovation, and student success.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/491328151552991
That did not happen by accident. It happened because people believed Hemlock could be more. It happened because a community leaned in, voted yes, supported kids, trusted the process, and kept pulling the sled.
Now, where others once saw a junk yard, we see students building robots, solving problems, creating, learning, and preparing for what comes next.
A pretty incredible reminder of what vision, grit, and a whole lot of teamwork can do.
Innovate. Collaborate. Educate. Small Town. Big Opportunities.

Sometimes things just fit perfectly together… like two peas in a pod. 🌱
10th grader Josie Wolgast hand-built this ceramic planter in Art 1, and with her summer job at a greenhouse, she knew exactly what belonged inside it. Her handmade creation turned out to be the perfect home for these little succulents. 🪴
Creativity blooming both in and out of the classroom.

Welcome to Camp Hammis 🏕️
Mrs. Hammis’ kindergarten campers traded desks for desk tents and spent the day cozying up in pajamas with their favorite stuffies and blankets. From mini campfires around the classroom to tasty s’mores snacks and fun camping-themed activities, it was a day full of smiles, imagination, and memory-making learning experiences.
These are the moments our students will remember for years to come.
