It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday and today we are featuring the delightful Baylee Walker, a newer addition to the Huskie Pack, who is an MTSS/Special Education teacher at K.C Ling Elementary.
She has always wanted to be a teacher, in fact, she would play 'teacher' with her two sisters while her dad got to be the principal.
Here are a few more fun nuggets to know about Baylee:
• She could listen to Cover Me Up by Morgan Wallen on repeat.
• If she won the lottery and gave up teaching she’d run a dog rescue.
• Her favorite animal is a panda.
• If her life were made into a movie, Jennifer Aniston would play her.
We're grateful to have you in our Huskie Pack, Ms. Walker!

Hemlock's Sawdust Days are just around the corner and this year the Lockwood STEM Center is joining in on the fun with Stemdust Days.
Stop by the STEM Center on Saturday the 16th, after the parade, for drone flying experiences, robotics demos, 3D printing demos, and more! It's a great way to experience our state-of-the-art STEM Center and expose your kids to the joys of technology, engineering, and robotics.

🍂 As the leaves slowly begin to turn and the September air becomes a little crisper, we're going crazy for "ICE" season. Welcome to the community where Innovation, Collaboration, and Education are always in season – this community of learners is here, and we're here to stay!
While others are sipping on pumpkin spice lattes, we're brewing up a blend of endless possibilities at Hemlock Public School District. Just like the comforting warmth of your favorite cup of seasonal joe, our commitment to fostering innovation, promoting collaboration, and delivering quality education never wavers. Happy September, huskies! 🍁

This week's #StaffSpotlight is on Rick Crofoot, our Building and Grounds Director here at Hemlock Public School District (and half of the ‘Rick + Casey Dynamic Duo’).
We think he's pretty cool and wanted you to get to know him better, so here are some things you may not know about Rick:
• His favorite part of his job is the challenge and satisfaction of completing a project.
• A song he could listen to on repeat is ‘Something To Believe In’ by Poison.
• He loves to restore old vehicles and engines and has restored a 1970 duster and a 1940 Chevy truck.
• He enjoys cooking polenta and thinks his favorite animal just might be an eagle.
• A quote he lives his life by is, “Don’t worry about things you can’t control”.
• If he retired, he’d spend his days fishing and hunting (but he assures us he's too young to retire).
Thanks for all you do to keep our buildings and grounds in peak condition, Rick. We are so grateful for the hard work, positive attitude and experience you bring to the Hemlock community!

Living out our mission and vision at Hemlock Public School District: Innovate | Collaborate | Educate | A Community of Learners
🦷 Is it hard for you to find time to get your child to the dentist? Well, now the dentist can come to your child.
We are partnering up with Great Lakes Bay Health Centers Mobile Dental Bus for your child's dental health. On September 5th one of their hygienists will be at the elementary schools to talk to the students about the importance of brushing their teeth. Your child will be sent home with a form. Fill this out if you'd like your child to be seen and send it back to school with them. They will work directly with your insurance company and get your child scheduled.
On September 13 + 14, the bus will park at each of our campus buildings, do cleanings, and an exam by the dentist. Our school nurse will work with the secretaries at each building to get them safely to the bus for their cleaning and dental exams. Once they are done, they will return to class with a new toothbrush and a report card to take home.
If you wish to have your middle or high school students seen, simply have them stop by their school office on September 5th and grab a form. Make sure to get the forms back as soon as possible so they know how many students to expect.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Nurse Becky at killingbeck.becky@hemlockps.com.
✨ Huskie Health starts with a clean mouth! Let’s go Huskies!

Did you know that the Hemlock Sports Boosters have provided our student athletes with college scholarships annually since 1993?
Pictured with HSB President Scott Schaffer are the nine 2023 Scholar Athletes who each received $1000 for their higher education. Scott states, "The Hemlock Sports Boosters are dedicated in their support of Hemlock's student athletes. We fundraise to provide uniforms and equipment and support special projects, however, these scholarships are among our most gratifying in playing a part in the future success of our Hemlock kids. We truly appreciate and thank our great volunteers who make our events and activities possible".
The Sports Boosters run on ALL VOLUNTEERS and it truly does take a village to keep it running. Please consider joining them and giving of your time and talents.

It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday and today we're featuring the marvelous Monica Kaczynski, who teaches Exploratory Spanish (6th & 7th grades), Spanish 1 (8th grade), and Spanish 2-3 (high school).
You may not be surprised to find out that ‘World Languages’ was her favorite subject in school, but you probably don’t know that she’s a wizard with royal icing. That’s right, our very own Mrs. Kaczynski is a cookie artist! She decorates sugar cookies for all kinds of celebrations.
Here are a few more nuggets to know:
• She loves music and could listen to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen on repeat.
• If she won the lottery and gave up teaching, she’d travel the world.
• She enjoys baking and specializes in making "Pastel Tres Leches" (which she makes and shares with her classes at least once a year).
We're grateful to have you in our Huskie Pack, Mrs. Kaczynski!
