When you think of our brand new Performing Arts Center your first thoughts are probably the expansive stage, beautiful seating, and state-of-the-art theater technology. All of those things are amazing, but you may not have realized the exciting events that are happening outside of the PAC. Two free events are being held in the parking lot on the west side of the PAC this week that you don't want to miss:
All Eyes on Jake! – Wednesday, September 16th, 2026 at 8:00 PM (Watch party sponsored by the Hemlock Fine Arts Booster Club to support Hemlock alum Jake Kelley in the finale of MasterChef: Global Gauntlet)

Don't forget to bring your lawn chairs, blankets, family, and friends to enjoy this new space right here in our hometown - we can't wait to see you all there!

Everybody Counts: Welcome to Our 8th Grade Growth Community Project
Our fellow Huskies in Mrs. Slominski’s science and growth classes each filled out a piece of paper that, when put together with all the others, forms one large poster. Each piece represents a little bit of that person and when we put them all together, they spell out:
❤️ “In This Class, Everyone Matters.”
In this class, you aren't just taking up a seat—you are a crucial part of the puzzle. Every single person brings a unique story, an incredible perspective, and valuable strengths that make our group stronger.
Your Ideas Matter: Whether you're pitching a project strategy, sharing a creative solution, or asking a tough question, your voice deserves to be heard.
Your Growth Matters: We are here to learn, mess up, try again, and celebrate each other’s wins. Progress over perfection, always.
Your Story Matters: No two people in this room are the same, and that is our biggest advantage. Differences make our team resilient and innovative.

Our middle school cross country team had their first meet of the season yesterday at the Eagle Invite in Carson City.
Our girls team absolutely crushed it at their first meet, taking 2nd place overall and earning a plaque for themselves! Brielle Painter had a strong finish, moving her way into 3rd place, earning a medal, and finishing with a time of 14:02...a new PR and is only a few seconds away from earning her way onto our Top 10 Record Board here at HMS.
Maris Pratt was next for our girls' team, earning a medal by finishing in 5th place with a PR of 14:45.
Also medaling at this meet were Hannah Wizner in 6th place, Maggie Raths in 8th, Lila Stevenson in 11th, Macy Breining in 14th, Lyra Schmidt in 16th, Ruby Kramer in 17th, Avery Johnson in 18th, Amelia Stevenson in 20th, and Ariana Rodriguez in 24th.
Everly Drews narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing in 26th and then rounding out our team was Ellie Wirtz who placed 34th.
The two boys on our team also showed up to compete! Zander Ward ran a tough race and stayed strong the entire time to finish in 2nd place, earning a medal and a new PR of 12:59.
Evan Burg was also a medalist, had a great sprint to the finish and ran a new PR of 16:25 and finished in 14th.
Amazing job to all of our cross country runners!
Do these winning teams sound like something you want to be a part of? It's not too late to join! See Mrs. Bebow if you are interested in joining cross country!
