We are so proud to recognize our Hemlock Middle School Poms Team for an incredible performance at the 2026 Mid American Pompon State Championship — placing 5th in the state! Your dedication and the effort you put in all season truly shined through in your performance, and we couldn’t be more proud of the way you represented our school and community. We can't wait to see what you accomplish in the future!

It was the office versus the teachers on Friday when the Valentine’s Day Ninja Challenge began! Teachers dressed as ninjas and tried all day to steal the paper hearts from the office window. The office staff did NOT play around - they stayed on high alert, guarding those hearts like pros.

The students absolutely loved watching the suspense unfold throughout the day and definitely did their part to get their teacher to the top of the leaderboard. In the end, it was a three-way tie between Ms. Bebow, Ms. Dixon, and Ms. Lyons - clearly our stealthiest staff members!

Safe to say, our students were highly entertained. Middle school magic at its finest.
