HEMLOCK SCHOOL NEWS

Welcome back to school, everyone! We are thrilled to welcome all the Hemlock children and staff back this September! 

I want to extend a special welcome to our parents and children that are new to the district – we are so excited to have you joining our Hemlock community – Hemlock really is a special place! Should you ever have any questions, please never hesitate to reach out – we are here to help.

For those that joined us in person on the first day of school, we hope you enjoyed the PTA-sponsored balloon decorations out front! 

Additionally, we would like to extend a big, huge, thank you to the Hemlock teachers, administrators and staff for their tireless efforts in planning for this upcoming school year. We thank you for all the planning you have done to ensure our children’s health, safety, academic and social experiences are as exceptional as ever. The PTA sponsored a breakfast for Hemlock staff the day before school began! 

The PTA mission is as important as ever, and there are still plenty of opportunities to volunteer and help out! As we always say, if you aren’t sure if you have the time to volunteer, be a member first, and a volunteer second – we appreciate each and every one of our members and hope we can achieve 100% participation in the PTA this year!

While you are on the website, check out our fall sportswear selections! See www.gardencitypta.org/sportswear. You can also check out the fall offerings at our cash and carry event at St. Paul’s on September 18th and October 2nd. Proceeds go directly to the PTA to benefit our students! The online shop will close on September 25th, so purchase your sportswear today!

Lastly, I want to thank all the parents that volunteered to serve as a class parent this year! You are such an important liaison between the parents and the PTA and we really appreciate you taking the time to serve in this capacity. For those that were not selected, please apply again next year - we do try our best to give everyone who wants to be a class parent an opportunity to do so during their time at Hemlock. You will all be hearing more from your class parents shortly!

I wish you all a wonderful September and a great school year ahead!
