📌 A Day for Dax is today at Tommy's Express Car Wash on State Street in Saginaw. Don't miss this great opportunity to honor Dax's memory while supporting students. All day long a portion of every wash will go to a scholarship fund to support students from Hemlock High School who are going into the trades.

She shows respect to both her teachers and classmates, and her character shines through in every setting. Not only is she an exemplary student, but she is also a wonderful friend.

🔌 Power Shutdown Alert ⚡

Heads up, everyone! We have a scheduled power shutdown coming this weekend to perform essential maintenance. To keep our critical systems online, we'll be running generators at the Middle School and other select locations.

We are aware that the generators create noise pollution, so we would like to thank our neighbors in advance for their understanding. We are working to limit the amount of time that generators are running. The work will commence at 7:30 AM on Saturday, and we anticipate it will be completed by the end of the day.

Your patience is a huge help as we work to keep our community running smoothly.

Smiles in 2nd Grade ✨📸 We’re loving having Miss Cate Baldwin as part of the Huskie Pack. Her 2nd-grade class took a quick pause today to ham it up for the camera—and they nailed it.

Way to shine, little Huskies.

Ms. Wilhelmsen’s kindergarten class took a special field trip to the Lockwood STEM Center, where Mrs. Trombley introduced them to the basics of robotics. 🤖 The students also got hands-on fun in the Lego Lab, sparking creativity, teamwork, and plenty of smiles.

Way to go, little Huskies—building big futures, one Lego brick at a time.

#HemlockHelps | Supporting the Bommarito Family

Please consider helping a special Hemlock family. Hemlock High School will serve as a donation drop-off site to support Brandon and Brie Bommarito—both HHS graduates—following a very serious motorcycle accident. While there are hopeful signs, their recovery will be long and uncertain. Both have undergone multiple surgeries and face significant injuries. It may be several months before they can fully care for their daughters again.

In the meantime, their girls will be with their aunt and uncle, Nikki and Brian, who are opening their home and hearts during this difficult time.

If you’d like to help, here are meaningful ways to support:

• Drop off donations at Hemlock High School (front office).
• Gift cards are especially helpful (groceries, gas, meals, Target/Walmart).
• Notes of encouragement and prayers for healing are welcome.
• If you represent a business or civic group and want to coordinate a larger donation, please contact the high school office at 989-642-5287.

Thank you for rallying around Brandon, Brie, and their girls. This is what the Huskie Pack does—show up for each other.
