Mrs. Schmidt's Kindergarten STEAM students have been learning why the sun changes position in the sky. After coding models to show how the Earth's rotation causes the sun to appear to move across the sky, the kids then explored eclipses using an augmented reality app. ☀️🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 They did a great job problem-solving and collaborating to work out bugs in their codes. Way to go, little Huskies.

Embarking on an epic journey, 50 of our Hemlock High School students ventured to Cleveland, Ohio for the Eclipse Fest, just a stone's throw away from NASA's Research Center, to watch the total solar eclipse. 🌒 It was an awe-inspiring expedition, crafting memories that will last a lifetime.
📷 Thanks to Coty Kuschinsky, Chief of Staff & Communications Supervisor at the Saginaw ISD, for these great photos
#HemlockHuskies #Huskietastic #SolarEclipse2024
Just a reminder to our Huskie pack that the eclipse will start at 1:58 PM for the Saginaw county area, peak at 3:13 PM, and end at 4:26 PM ☀️🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
While this extraordinary display of nature will be viewed by many, safety precautions must be followed as it is never a good idea to look directly into the sun.

This week's #StaffSpotlight is on the marvelous Megan Bedford, our Preschool Director and a Teacher here at Hemlock Elementary School and Early Childhood Center.
Apart from having 25 years of teaching experience under her belt, here are some other nuggets of information to help you get to know her a little better:
• As a child she knew she was either going to be a full-time mom with a house full of 10 children, or a teacher.
• If she won the lottery and decided to give up her position at HPSD, she would love to be able to go into schools and assist with classroom design and explore different ways to set up an environment that creates a place, not just a space.
• We asked her how she thinks her students will remember her and her class, and she said: "That their ideas and questions were answered, not just told to them, and that they were an active part of the learning process."
• An accomplishment that fills her with pride so far this year is watching her son graduate high school and attend college at NMU. She said it's been exciting to watch him navigate life, set goals, and become the best version of himself.
• A quote she lives her life by is, "The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and dance and live only as you can," from Neil Gaiman.
We’re so grateful you’re part of the Huskie Pack, Mrs. Bedford!

💡 Hemlock's Gray Matter has been busy over the past few weeks. Between hosting local robotics teams for fun events, collecting socks for the Saginaw Rescue Mission and Underground Railroad, dancing, doing television interviews, and, well, winning competitions and prestigious awards...we can't help but be proud.
In essence, they're living out our mission and vision of HPSD by innovating, collaborating, and educating. To say we are rooting for these students and coaches as they head to States this weekend is a massive understatement.
⚙️ Be sure to come out and support them at the Robotics State Finals at SVSU or follow along with the livestream: https://bit.ly/4cDei3f

Hands-on learning is at the heart of what we do at Hemlock Public School District, and it starts with our littlest huskies. Whether it's in the STEM lab, on the stage, out in the field, or in the workshop, our students engage in experiential education each step of the way.
Together, we're shaping tomorrow's leaders, one hands-on experience at a time.

It's #TeacherFeatureTuesday and today we're featuring the endearing Emily Kaczmarczyk, a 1st grade teacher here at K.C. Ling Elementary School for the past 8 years.
Here are some fun facts about her:
• What could she listen to on repeat? Why, anything country. Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen are her favorite.
• As a child, she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up. Her mom was a teacher and she spent a lot of time in her classroom watching her.
• She hopes her students remember her as the teacher who cared about them, listened to them, and encouraged them to be the best that they could be every day.
• What can she cook or prepare to perfection? Pickle dip. It sounds funny, but she insists that if you love pickles, you should definitely try it.
• A quote she lives her life by is, "In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
We’re so grateful to have you in our Huskie Pack, Mrs. Kaczmarczyk!
