The bracket is heating up in this year's Student Council March Madness Tournament! The energy in the gym is off the charts, and we've seen some amazing talent and sportsmanship so far. From clutch buzzer-beaters to incredible hustle, our Middle School Huskies are leaving it all on the court.

Last week at Hemlock Middle School, the staff held an Underground Spirit Week! Students may have felt like something was a little off on Monday when the entire staff was dressed head-to-toe in gray.

This was followed by Socks and Crocs Day, Dress Like a Student Day, and College Day. We think the secret was officially out by Friday, though, when staff showed up as Sesame Street and Disney characters.

Thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun to make it another great week at HMS!

MRS. SLOMINSKI’S GROWTH CLASS PRESENTS - “Who should you be…?”
With help from class of 2030

“Who Should You Be…?” Was a project directed by Haley Vanderwall. This project includes 4 posters that students will look up to and apply. These posters have the quote, “Be the best version of you.” This quote appears in our hallways to give students words of encouragement throughout their days.

This quote not only helps the students in our growth class, but it means a lot to us as well. Being upperclassmen in middle school, it has not only shown, but it has proven how far you can go if you are YOU.

Some may wonder what this quote means, but the answer to this question would be different for everyone. The answer is not the same for everyone, because not everyone is the same. Being the best version of yourself may mean that you accomplished a dream, or you make a new friend, or you look how you please, but the thing is all of those are different. Being the best version of yourself, is being you. Being the person that you are, and being the person that you don’t want to change. Be you.

“Be the best version of you.”

It was the office versus the teachers on Friday when the Valentine’s Day Ninja Challenge began! Teachers dressed as ninjas and tried all day to steal the paper hearts from the office window. The office staff did NOT play around - they stayed on high alert, guarding those hearts like pros.

The students absolutely loved watching the suspense unfold throughout the day and definitely did their part to get their teacher to the top of the leaderboard. In the end, it was a three-way tie between Ms. Bebow, Ms. Dixon, and Ms. Lyons - clearly our stealthiest staff members!

Safe to say, our students were highly entertained. Middle school magic at its finest.
