Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms, grandmas, stepmoms, and mother figures to our HMS students!

Thank you for the countless rides, packed lunches, late-night homework help, encouragement, and love you give every single day. Your support helps our students grow, learn, and shine both inside and outside the classroom.

Today we celebrate YOU and all the ways you make a difference. Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and appreciation.

Mother's Day

We wrapped up this week of celebrating our amazing teachers with a '90s dress-up day and Kona Ice! We'd like to thank our wonderful community for helping us say thank you to our teaching staff - especially the Hemlock Middle School PTO and those who contribute to it with their time and resources.

We'd also like to thank Dave Wieland for generously purchasing Kona Ice for those students who were not able to buy their own. You've made this day special for all of our HMS kids.

We hope that our Hemlock Middle School Teachers have felt our deep gratitude this week, and that they know just how vital they are to our school, students, and the entire Huskie Community.

Teacher Appreciation Week: Class of ’96 Edition!
Our incredible Hemlock Middle School teachers got a totally rad ’90s yearbook makeover—from “Most Likely to Brighten Your Day” to “Best Classroom DJ” (you may even spot a Teacher of the Year!). Each portrait captures a little bit of the personality that makes every one of our teachers so special.
Beyond the throwback vibes, though, this is really about appreciation.
Our teachers show up every single day with heart, humor, and dedication. They build important relationships and support our students through every challenge and success. The impact they make goes far beyond the classroom—and far beyond any decade.
So while we’re celebrating with a little ’90s flair, our appreciation is completely timeless.
Thank you to our amazing HMS teaching staff!

May 1st is School Lunch Hero Day and we think 'Hero' is the perfect word to describe the members of our amazing food service crew.

Today is School Principal's Day! What can we say about the best Middle School Principal in the world, Mrs. Gensch? We thought we'd let the students speak for themselves:

"Thank you for always being there for me to talk to when things were hard."

"I like that you understand us kids."

"You are the best principal we could have ever asked for and I couldn't be more grateful to have you here at the Middle School."

We couldn't have put it better ourselves. Thank you, Mrs. Gensch - the positive impact you have on our students and community truly can't be measured.
