Today we're featuring the shining Shawn Enright, our Hemlock Virtual teacher here at Hemlock Public School District.

We wanted you to get to know Ms. Enright a little better, so here are some fun facts about her:

• The song she could listen to on repeat is All Too Well by Taylor Swift.

• If she won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, she'd do lots of traveling, lots of volunteering, and spend lots of time with loved ones.

• She believes her students will remember her as someone who had high expectations and was strict, but that she pushed them to be their best.

• A quote she lives her life by is "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better!" by Maya Angelou

• Her favorite subject in school was Psychology.

We’re so grateful to have you in our Huskie Pack, Ms. Enright!

Singin’ In The Rain presented by Hemlock High School Theatre March 14th, 15th, and 16th at Hemlock High School. Tickets on sale to the public starting February 25th.

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:
