The Richland Township Farmers Market is open today from 4:00–7:00 PM at the little red barn.
Stroll the market and discover farm-fresh produce, baked goods, sweet treats, local honey, handmade crafts, and more. It's the perfect way to spend a summer evening while supporting the local growers, makers, and small businesses that make our community special.
Bring your reusable bag, say hello to your favorite vendors, and enjoy all the fresh flavors of the season. We'll see you there!

It saddens us to share that, due to some additional construction delays, our Senior Citizen Movie scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, from 1:00–3:00 PM at the new Hemlock Performing Arts Center will need to be postponed.
We know. We were excited too.
But here's the thing. Our seniors deserve more than "good enough."
This generation of incredible people helped build the community we get to enjoy today. They raised families here, supported our schools, coached our teams, volunteered, owned businesses, attended concerts and ball games, paid taxes, cheered for generations of Huskies, and helped make Hemlock, Hemlock.
They are the backbone of our community, and when we welcome them into our new Performing Arts Center for the first time, we want it to be special.
So rather than rush it, work around construction, or provide anything less than the experience they deserve, we are going to wait just a little longer.
🎬 Grease isn't going anywhere! We will reschedule the movie for a later date and share the new information through our social media channels and at our upcoming senior events.
And speaking of upcoming events, there is plenty more fun ahead! We are looking forward to seeing our Hemlock seniors at Senior Citizen Bingo and, of course, our Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner, a Hemlock tradition more than 50 years in the making.
These events are specifically provided for senior citizens who reside within the Hemlock Public School District. If you live outside our district, we encourage you to contact your local school district to learn about opportunities available in your community.
One more thing. With Michigan weather starting to shift, find those walking shoes! Our seniors are invited to take advantage of the Legend Gymnasium Walking Track, so make sure you have your walking pass and are ready to keep moving when the weather sends us indoors.
Finally, we need your help.
Not all of our senior friends are on Facebook or social media. If you have a parent, grandparent, neighbor, friend, or one of those treasures in human form who attends our senior events, please call them, text them, stop by, or share this update with them. We want to make sure nobody makes an unnecessary trip on September 15.
To our seniors, thank you for your patience. More importantly, thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for Hemlock.
We cannot wait to welcome you into the Performing Arts Center.
And when we do, we want to do it right.
If you have any questions give us a call at 989.642.5282.

Not someone looking to simply fill a position.
We are looking for top-tier talent.
Someone creative. Someone organized. Someone who sees what needs to happen and gets after it. Someone who can take an idea scribbled on a piece of paper and turn it into an event, a campaign, a story, a graphic, or something people remember.
We want a self-starter who can manage multiple projects, solve problems, meet deadlines, build relationships, take great photos, create great content, sweat the details, and yes, get stuff done.
But there is another part that matters just as much.
You have to be a team player.
At Hemlock, nobody pulls the sled alone. We collaborate. We communicate. We help each other. We celebrate wins together, and when something needs to get across the finish line, we jump in and make it happen.
Our new Communications & Event Specialist will help tell the Hemlock story, create exceptional experiences, strengthen relationships throughout our community, and work on some pretty cool projects across Hemlock Public School District and in partnership with Richland Township.
This is not a sit-behind-a-desk-and-wait-for-someone-to-tell-you-what-to-do kind of job.
We want energy, creativity, initiative, good judgment, a great eye for design, and follow-through.
If you are the kind of person who looks at something and thinks, I can make that better and then actually does it, we want to hear from you.

Here’s to an amazing year of learning and growing together! 📚✨

HEMLOCK, IT’S TIME FOR A MASTERCHEF FINALE WATCH PARTY!
This is getting REAL.
Our own Jake Kelley has cooked, battled, survived Gordon Ramsay, led teams, handled the pressure, and represented his hometown in a way that has made all of Hemlock incredibly proud.
And now…
HE. IS. IN. THE. MASTERCHEF. FINALE.
So there is absolutely NO WAY Hemlock is sitting home quietly for this one.
JAKE KELLEY MASTERCHEF FINALE WATCH PARTY
📅 Wednesday, September 16
⏰ MasterChef begins at 8:00 PM
📍 Hemlock Public School District
We are planning a BIG hometown watch party as Jake competes for the title of MASTERCHEF and the $250,000 grand prize!
Weather/conditions permitting, we’ll take this thing OUTSIDE on the west side of the Performing Arts Center, out front of the Reg Rye Learning Center. Bring your lawn chairs, and blankets, family, friends, neighbors, and your loudest Hemlock cheering voice.
If weather or site conditions have other plans, we’ll move the party indoors to one of our gymnasiums.
Either way…
THE PARTY IS ON 🔥
Stay tuned because exact location, arrival time, parking information, and additional event details are coming soon.
This isn't just about watching a television show.
This is about a young man from our community stepping onto a national stage and showing millions of people what talent, determination, creativity, and keeping your cool under pressure can accomplish.
For one night, Hemlock becomes MasterChef country.
And who knows…
We might just watch one of our own become MASTERCHEF.
Wednesday, September 16. 8:00 PM.
Clear the calendar.
Find the lawn chairs.
Bring the family.
Tell your neighbors.
ALL EYES ON JAKE.

They happen because our community shows up.
Sports Boosters does so much for our student-athletes — equipment, uniforms, scholarships, and more — and one of the ways they make it all possible is through our legendary Huskie concessions. Honestly, some would say they’re the best concessions this side of the Tittabawassee.
And let’s be honest… those 20 oz. Rocket Slushies have developed a following of their own. 🧊💥
But even the best concession stand needs a team behind it!
We’re looking for volunteers to help serve up the deliciousness at Huskie athletic events. Whether you can help for a whole game or just lend a hand for a shift, we’d love to have you join the fun.
Come for the Huskie spirit.
Stay for the snacks (and maybe a Rocket Slushie).
Help support our student-athletes.
Sign up today to join the concession crew:

Ms. Wilhelmsen’s kindergarteners put their scientist skills to work with a delicious experiment: making homemade ice cream in a bag.
The challenge? Shake, shake, shake for 10 minutes until the liquid transformed into a solid sweet treat.🍦
A little science, a lot of teamwork, and a very tasty way to learn about changes in matter.

This week, we’re heading to third grade to meet Elyse Hollingsworth, one of the familiar faces helping our youngest Huskies learn, grow and find their confidence.
• School days: Elyse graduated from Fairview High School, earned her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Social Studies from Saginaw Valley State University, and later earned her master’s in Literacy from American College of Education.
• Huskie years: This is Elyse’s 11th year in education and her third year as a Huskie.
• Favorite subject: English/Language Arts—which makes her master’s degree in Literacy feel like a pretty natural fit.
• Who she'd cast to play her in the movie of her life: Taylor Swift. We have to wonder if there would be a musical number involved…
• If she could instantly master something completely unrelated to education: Cooking! We’re thinking third-grade classroom potlucks just got a little more interesting.
We’re so glad Elyse is part of the Huskie Pack—and we can’t wait to see what another year of learning looks like in her third-grade classroom.

Before she was an engineer, entrepreneur, business owner, community builder, professional snowmobile racer, or Michigan Tech commencement speaker, Jennifer (Fuller) Julien was a kid growing up in Hemlock with some pretty big dreams.
And apparently, a pretty awesome race car. 🏁
Jennifer sent us this photo over the weekend with a simple message:
“Thought you would enjoy this. Hemlock Elementary didn’t see this one coming!!”
We absolutely love it.
Because this Friday, that little girl comes home.
Jennifer, a 2007 Hemlock High School graduate, will return to the place where her journey started as we proudly induct her into the Hemlock Hall of Fame as our 2026 Distinguished Alumni honoree.
She’ll spend some time touring the district, join our staff and families before the game, and then at halftime of Friday night’s varsity football game, we’ll have the privilege of officially welcoming her into the Hall of Fame.
There is something incredibly special about seeing where someone's story started and then seeing where determination, hard work, relationships, courage, and a willingness to dream big can take them.
And maybe that is the best part of this picture.
Every day, there are kids sitting in our classrooms whose stories are still being written.
Future engineers. Entrepreneurs. Artists. Teachers. Tradespeople. Community leaders. Maybe even a future Hall of Famer.
We just don't know it yet.
Small Town. Big Opportunities.
Welcome home, Jennifer. We cannot wait to celebrate you Friday night.

From the classroom to the construction site, from the farm to the small business, from the office to the field — so much of what makes a community thrive is made possible by people who work hard and care deeply about what they do.
This Labor Day, we’re grateful for the many hands and hearts that keep Hemlock moving forward.
Here’s to a well-deserved day of rest — and to the people who make a difference through their work every day.
Happy Labor Day, Huskie Nation!

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. With each wash, you're helping build futures.

At its September Regular Meeting, the Hemlock Board of Education proudly recognized Jordan Weichmann, Chair of the Richland Township Community Association, for her leadership, partnership, and commitment to our community.
Jordan and the RTCA team knocked it out of the park with the recent Hemlock Hometown Tailgate at the Patrick Wolgast Fieldhouse. A few hundred people came together for an evening of food trucks, community, football, the Isabella Bank Fieldside Lounge, and DJ Dean Rusch keeping the music going.
But events like this don't just happen.
They take someone willing to organize, communicate, bring people together, solve problems, and ultimately execute. Jordan has done exactly that, helping the Richland Township Community Association become an increasingly active partner in creating opportunities that bring our schools, township, families, and community together.
Great communities are built by people who are willing to step up and make things happen.
Thank you, Jordan, for your leadership, your energy, and your continued partnership with Hemlock Public School District. We appreciate you and the entire RTCA team.

Levi has done a wonderful job adjusting to a new grade and settling into the school routine. He comes to school with a positive attitude, shows kindness and respect to his teachers and classmates, and brings a great willingness to learn each day.
We’re so proud of you, Levi, and all your hard work! ⭐

The Definition of a Hemlockian
At its September Regular Meeting, the Hemlock Board of Education is proud to recognize Pat Watson, a tremendous champion for kids, an incredible community member, and quite possibly Hemlock's #1 fan.
Pat is the driving force behind our annual Stuff the Bus or Van effort, helping collect school supplies and other essentials to make sure our students have what they need to start the year successfully. But anyone who knows Pat knows her impact reaches far beyond one event.
She is caring. She is giving. She shows up. She supports our students, our schools, and our community, and she is always looking for another way to help someone or make Hemlock a little better.
Pat doesn't do any of it for recognition. She does it because she genuinely cares about people.
There are people who live in a community, and then there are people who help make a community.
Pat Watson is the definition of a Hemlockian.
On behalf of the Hemlock Board of Education and the entire Huskie Pack, thank you, Pat, for loving our kids, supporting our schools, and always showing up for Hemlock. We are better because of you.
