We made it! Now that the final bell has officially rung, we want to take a moment to say how much we’ve enjoyed spending this year with your students. From all the growth and learning to the challenges and achievements, it has been an absolute honor to experience it all with them.

We hope everyone in our Huskie Community has a phenomenal summer. We can't wait to see you all back here in the fall!

Every successful school event relies on a dedicated team working behind the scenes. We want to give a special shout-out to our outstanding food service crew, who prepared hundreds of bagged lunches for Field Day last week.

Thanks to their hard work and careful planning, our students were able to enjoy a seamless, fun-filled day with their friends. We appreciate our staff, parents, and volunteers who have made this week a great one.

Some traditions just keep getting better with time, and one of those is the end-of-the-year Field Day. Bounce houses, outdoor games, fresh air, and fun all make this special day the perfect ending to a wonderful year.

Thank you to the staff and parent volunteers who helped make Field Day 2026 the best ever.

Parents and staff looked on last week as some very deserving students received end-of-year awards at Hemlock Middle School. Whether they're being recognized for academic achievement or citizenship, these students have shown themselves to be an amazing example for others.

Congratulations to our Principal's Award winner, Johanna Fabien; our Outstanding Eighth Grader Award winners, Brynn Wenglikowski and Thompson Holmes; and to all of the other amazing middle schoolers who received recognition this year.

The outgoing 8th graders were kind enough to pose for a class photo in front of the main doors last week. During these last few days as middle schoolers, we want to commemorate as many of these special moments as we can.

What they didn't know was that Principal Gensch and a few of their favorite teachers were waiting on the roof with water balloons and soakers! Mayhem ensued, and these future high schoolers are not likely to forget the fun they had that day.

If you'd like to get in on the end-of-year spirit, don't forget to stop by Hemlock Middle School during the afternoon and evening of Thursday, June 4th, to 'Chalk the Walk' by writing a message to the 8th graders in your life.

Let’s give our 8th graders the ultimate send-off!

The Hemlock Middle School PTO and the Hemlock Pep Club have put together a fantastic lineup of events for the last two days of school to celebrate the amazing Class of 2030.

Mark your calendars and come help us make these final middle school memories special:

Thursday, June 4th
Chalk the Walk (Thursday Evening): Stop by the HMS sidewalk anytime on Thursday evening to write an encouraging, celebratory, or sweet chalk message for your student to see on their last day!

Friday, June 5th
Clap Out: Join us outside the HMS main doors on Friday to cheer, clap, and make some noise for our 8th graders as they exit through the front doors!

Pizza Picnic (Immediately After School): The celebration continues at Richland Township Park! All 8th graders are treated to a fun pizza picnic right after the final bell.

Keep an eye out for some awesome new gear! The Hemlock Pep Club has generously purchased class t-shirts for the students who requested one.

Thank you to everyone in our amazing community for helping us say farewell to the Class of 2030. Let's make it unforgettable!

Since yesterday was National Paper Airplane Day, Mrs. Garrett's fifth graders tried their hand at some aviation engineering!

The hall turned into a runway as students designed, folded, and tested their best creations - we think we definitely have some future aerospace engineers in the making!
