Hemlock Public School District - Innovate, Collaborate, Educate

We wanted to take a moment to give a big shoutout to the Hemlock Community Pep Club for all the amazing work they do to create a sense of community spirit, pride, and engagement! From putting on the Paw Ball to sponsoring community events, the Hemlock Community Pep Club truly has the heartbeat of our community. And speaking of community events, we want to personally thank them for sponsoring the 2nd annual Senior Spring Brunch. It was a beautiful time filled with delicious food, great company, and lots of laughter. It was wonderful to see so many people come together to celebrate the arrival of spring and the sense of community that the Hemlock Community Pep Club helps to foster. The Hemlock Community Pep Club board is comprised of Leon Zastrow, Angie Trinklein, Cheryl Hagerty, and Dawn Earnestly. Once again, thank you to the Hemlock Community Pep Club for everything you do. You are an inspiration to us all! Go Huskies! #Huskietastic #BetterTogether #ServantLeadership #Since1863

It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday, and today we're featuring our marvelous MTSS teacher, Aimee Fromholz. While she's currently teaching MTSS at Hemlock Elementary and K.C. Ling, she has spent many years with us as a 1st and 2nd grade teacher. Aside from having a whopping 23 years invested in our little huskies, here are a few other things you may not know about Mrs. Fromholz... • If she could be any Disney character, she'd be Belle from Beauty and the Beast (because she loves to read, and always tries to see the best in everyone). • As a child she always wanted to be a teacher, in fact, she played "school" with her two younger brothers and her dolls. • If she won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, she would move somewhere warm and become a yoga instructor on a beach. But, as she noted, that's still teaching! • The quote she lives her life by is: "Everything happens for a Reason". Lastly, we asked her how she hoped kids would remember her and her classroom, and she said, "I hope my students remember me as being kind, caring, supportive and encouraging. I hope they remember our class as being a safe, learning environment with a sense of belonging". And we are positive they will! We're lucky to have you, Mrs. Fromholz! #Huskietastic #Since1863 #HPSDPackLeader

Today's #StaffSpotlight is on Irene Sensabaugh, our Head Custodian at Ling Elementary. She's been a hard-working member of the Huskie Pack for over 15 years, initially as a Paraprofessional, and we'd love you to get to know her a little better... • You might be surprised to know that she loves to ride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with her husband. • Her favorite part of her job is interacting with the kids in the morning at drop-off and during lunchtime in the cafeteria. • Her least favorite part is cleaning up after sick kids (bless you, Irene!). • Her nickname as a child was "Spunky". • She can relate to the Looney Tunes character the Tasmanian Devil as she's always on the move...and moving fast. • She could listen to the song "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns on repeat. Hemlock Public School District is grateful to have you in our pack, Irene! #PackLeaders #Huskietastic #BetterTogether #Since1863

It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday, and today we're featuring our fabulous fitness instructor, Matt Bauer. He teaches Elite Fitness and Physical Education here at Hemlock High School and has taught Biology (and Advanced Bio) in previous years. Along with being a huge Michigan fan, here are a few other things you may not know about Mr. Bauer... • If he could be any Disney character, he'd be Winnie-the-Pooh because he's "friendly and easy to get along with". • He could listen to Cornbread by Dave Matthews Band on repeat. • As a child he wanted to be a professional athlete. • The quote he lives his life by is: "You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone else who can’t repay you “ from John Wooden. Lastly, we asked him what he would do if he won the lottery and didn't have to work anymore and he said he'd "start up a college basketball team at a school that didn’t already have a program and be their coach". We're lucky to have you, Coach Bauer! #Huskietastic #Since1863 #HPSDPackLeader

Today's #StaffSpotlight is on Zach Bauer, our Food Service Director.
