Hey, What's for Lunch?

We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the Michigan School Meals Program, EVERY child at Hemlock Public School District, pre-K through 12th grade, will now be able to enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast and lunch for FREE!

Not only will this amazing program lighten the load on your wallet (we all know kids can eat their way through a pantry), but it'll save you precious time in the morning.

Now, here's the nitty-gritty: Although the meals are free, we do need all our parents to fill out the new free/reduced lunch application. This data is super important as it helps secure state and federal funding for this fantastic initiative.

Here's to full bellies, vibrant minds, and the #huskietastic school year ahead!

To add funds to your student's account for a la carte items, please use the following link:

SAVE THE DATE AND TIME

Every fall we like to try and gather goods for our friends Hidden Harvest! This year instead of a trunk or treat we are going to offer family/friend/small group photos for non-perishables.

Mr. J’s Catering is teaming up with 3 local photographers with a few different seasonal backdrops (including a Christmas card) to get you beautiful professional pictures and some good food for non-perishable goods to benefit Hidden Harvest!

Save the time and save the day and save some cans!

We will be introducing you to our awesome photographers and letting you in on all the special details over the next few weeks, so stay tuned. We hope to make this a fall family event for everyone and can’t wait to have some more fall fun at the Hilltop Hideaway 540 S. Orr road.
