See Something, Say Something
School safety is a shared responsibility, and the key to maintaining a safe environment lies in our collective vigilance. Whether you're a student, parent, teacher or community member, everyone plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of our schools.
This year Field Day will be on Friday, May 30th. We can't wait! The kids will run the inflatable obstacle course, play games, eat ice cream and dunk their favorite teachers. If you would like to help out we would love to have you! It's pretty easy. Stand at the hydration station, pass out spoons and napkins in the ice cream line or feed the softballs to the kiddos trying to dunk Mr. Chase. Fun in the sun!
More to come on times, lunch break, etc. If you would like to help out please go to the Hemlock Middle School PTO Facebook page and drop a message to get on the list. You will need a background check done through the office to be able to volunteer. Thanks a million!!
