Audition information for the fall dinner theatre! Fall dinner theatre performance dates are Nov. 6th-8th.

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:

https://hemlockps.revtrak.net/

All students are currently eligible to receive free breakfast and/or lunch each school day. However, if a student chooses to take milk only, it is available for $0.50.

We strongly encourage all families to complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application, as we are unsure whether free meals for all students will continue beyond September 30.

Thank you for your attention and support!

Attention Hemlock fans! There are TWO ways to watch your Huskies, you can live stream on NFHS or HUDL! Click the pictures below to get started:

Dr. Collier enjoyed a great conversation this morning with Caden Miller, a Saginaw ISD work-based learning student. Wishing Caden and his Hemlock teammates a safe and fun experience in their first varsity football game of the season tonight!

Last night's Player of the Game, sponsored by Primetime, was Senior Captain #22 Steven Katzenberger. Steven led the team defensively with 11.5 Tackles, 2 for a loss, and 1 QB hurry. Offensively, "Katz" rushed for 32 yds on 8 carries, including a 9 yd TD. Everyone's favorite play of the game came when Steven connected with #11 Drew Genow through the air for a 20 yd completion!

The Huskies fell just short, losing to Garber 20-18. That being said, we absolutely physically dominated the 2nd half. Our rushing attack wore down the Garber defense and our offensive line took control of the game. A slow start on defense, giving up TDs on Garber's first two drives, culminated in a dominating 4th Quarter filled with forced fumbles and 3 and outs. There just wasn't enough time on the clock for the comeback to materialize.

The offensive line paved the way for 190 rushing yards and 3 rushing TDs.

• Drew Genow (Jr.) rushed for 63 yds on 8 carries and a 3 yd TD. Adding 28 receiving yards in the air.

• Markus Plowden (So.) rushed for a gritty 52 yds on 13 carries

• Steven Katzenberger (Sr.) rushed for 32 yds on 8 carries and completed 1 pass for 20 yds. Steven also led the team in tackles defensively.

• Brayden Stanard scored a 2 yd TD and changed the direction of the game with his stripped fumble on defense.

• Gavin Schmidt commanded the offense and rushed for 31 yds on 7 carries with a 1 yd TD run. He completed 3 of 10 passing for another 24 yds of output.

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.

With Halloween party planning underway, plan to join us at the Midland Antique Engine Association Tractor Club in association with the Midland Conservation District for a family fun-filled night of Tract-or Treating. We will have hayrides, face painting tractor pedal pulls, games, tractor touch, and a whole lot more PLUS trick or treating! All this fun takes place at the MAEA grounds on Meridian Rd (M30) a half mile south of Freeland Rd. Plan to join the fun!
