HEMLOCK SCHOOL NEWS

Hemlock School May 2026 Newsletter

 Happy May, Hemlock families!  The longer and warmer days have us all excited for what’s to come at our beloved school.  There is so much to look forward to as we turn the final corner on the school year.

First, I’d like to extend a thank you to all the parents, caregivers, and special persons who joined our Hemlock Family Fun Day!  The Center for Science Teaching and Learning gave a wonderful interactive presentation and craft on fossils that had the children captivated.  We lucked out with the weather and were able to enjoy the sunshine while learning all about fossils.

Speaking of the outdoors, I would once again like to thank our Beautification Committee for doing an outstanding job of decorating the front of our school.  The flower and butterfly decorations add such a whimsical and welcoming touch to our beloved school.  We are so fortunate to be able to attend a school that is beautiful both inside and out!

Our Spring Sing is coming up!  Our Kindergarten classes will be performing on Thursday, May 7th, and our first graders will be performing on Friday, May 8th.  Notices went home regarding your child’s class performance time.  It is also posted to Parent Square should you need to recheck the times.  The students have been preparing long and hard for this Spring Sing, and we are eager to see what entertainment they have in store!  It is sure to be a wonderful morning.

Our Staff Appreciation Luncheon is on Friday, May 15th.  Class parents have sent out the Sign Up Genius for donations.  Please contact your class parent if you need to have it resent.  Our staff means so much to us and they are truly the heart of our beloved Hemlock School!

As a reminder, Kindergarten students ONLY will be dismissed at 12PM on Wednesday, May 20th!  We will be having orientation for the incoming Kindergarteners that day.  Additionally, there will be school on Friday, May 22nd due to the snow day we had during the winter.  There is no school on Monday, May 25th.  

Field Day is right around the corner on Wednesday, May 27th!  Our 1st graders will be hitting the field first at 9AM, followed by kindergarten at 11AM.  This is always such a fun day for the kids.  Fingers crossed for good weather!

As always, I would like to extend my gratitude to all our families and volunteers.  We couldn’t do it without you!

With warmest regards,

Meredith Liddle
