This week's #StaffSpotlight is on the terrific Tyler Zolinski, our College and Career Navigator here at Hemlock Public School District.
We'd love you to get to know him a little better, so here are some fun nuggets you may not know about him:
• The Disney character that he most relates to is Maui, from Moana. He tries to be a big tough guy, but is ultimately a soft teddy bear like character.
• If a movie was made of his life, he’d like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to play him.
• As a child he wanted to be a Police Officer like his dad, but quickly realized that the field of education was his true calling.
• If he won the lottery and gave up his position at HPSD, he would load up his family and camp across the country from coast to coast, making extended stops in Washington, Colorado, and Montana.
• We asked him what his favorite part of his job is and he responded: “helping students find their purpose and helping guide them on a career path that will bring them a sense of pride, happiness, and joy". He also enjoys the small conversations he has with students during passing time, as well as before and after school.
• His least favorite part is saying goodbye to the seniors as they graduate because of the sheer amount of time he’s invested in them, guiding them and seeing them grow up, during the four short years of high school. He said it’s a bitter-sweet moment, but mostly sweet because he knows our students are life ready, set to take on any challenge that lies ahead of them.
We’re so grateful for you and all you do to keep our kids focused, driven and dreaming big, Tyler.

It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday and today we're featuring the delightful Dana Lockwood who has taught here at Hemlock Public School District for almost 30 years, covering subjects from Business Services & Technology and Management Support, to Accounting and Multimedia classes.
Along with being the hula hoop champion on Bozo the Clown when she was just 4 years old, here are some other fun facts to know about Mrs. Lockwood:
• She took every business class she could in school.
• She could listen to ‘A Long and Lasting Love’ by Crystal Gayle on repeat.
• She always wanted to be a teacher, and if she happened to hit the jackpot and retire from teaching, she’d travel the world to fill her days.
• A quote she lives her life by is: Love wasn't put in your heart to stay... Love isn't love till you give it away.
• Finally, we asked her what her students might be surprised to find out about her, and she shared that she had 4 track records when she left Hemlock High School!
We're so grateful to still have you in our Huskie Pack, Mrs. Lockwood! Once a huskie, always a huskie.

Beautiful night for a pink out soccer game, the Huskie Pack tied the Standish-Sterling Panthers, 2-2. #intensegame.
We kicked off a weekend of fun with a hefty dose of camaraderie at our all-staff tailgate before the football game on Friday. Good food, great company, and the perfect atmosphere to celebrate our school's core values: Innovation, Collaboration, and Education. 📚
Beneath it all lies the foundation of everything we do: cultivating a vibrant culture. Building relationships, supporting one another, and creating a true sense of belonging is at the heart of all we do - because that's where the magic of growth and education truly takes place. 💫

This week's #StaffSpotlight is shining on Anna Wamack, our Director of Business Operations and HR here at Hemlock Public School District.
While she feels the entirety of the 90’s may have been her worst fashion decision ever, we feel her decision to join the Huskie pack 4 years ago was an excellent one. Here are some fun things you may not know about her:
• The Disney character that best represents her is the little mermaid, Ariel. She notes that, “If you've seen my desk, and her cave of treasures, you'll get it”.
• She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up (does a giant Huskie Pack count?)
• Her favorite animal is a giraffe.
• If she won the lottery and gave up her position at HPSD, she’d become a travel blogger - regardless of whether she had a following or not.
• Her nickname as a child was ‘Anna Banana’.
You collect treasures, and so do we! We’re grateful for you and all you do to keep our district running well behind the scenes, Anna.
