Homecoming Events
We will be having spirit days next week (see below for theme). Friday is dependent on remote school or in-person school.
We will be holding a ceremony on either Thursday OR Friday at 2pm (again dependent on remote or in-person for that Friday) for the King & Queen announcement followed by the crowning. It will be held outside on the football field for those members involved. The rest of the student body will be in their classroom watching a live stream. This live stream will be available on the NFHS Network and/or Facebook live.

Week 4 Update
As promised, we will continue to provide a regular school update. This week was our second week with all of our face-to-face students on campus Monday-Thursday and everyone remote on Friday. We currently have approximately 90% +/- of our students that have selected in person learning and the remaining selecting remote/virtual option of instruction.
Together, we keep our students, staff, and community safe, healthy, and moving forward. What COVID-19 could not do a squirrel managed to do this week; shutting us down Wednesday morning for the day.
As of right now, we can report there are no reports of new Covid-19 cases from our fourth week back at school. We, however, continue to be cautiously optimistic and have kept on the path of additional precautionary measures. One major contributing factor to our good fortune is our parents not sending symptomatic children to school and being vigilant in contact us with any concerns.
We continue to practice and teach our students to follow the 3 W's to reduce our risk of COVID-19. The 3 W's are:
- Wear a Mask
- Wash your Hands
- Watch your distance
It is so important that we all do our part to keep our children and everyone else safe. Please remember to complete a health screener with your child before sending them to school.
This week we continue with free breakfast and lunch for all and our athletic teams continue to compete. We encourage you to watch our teams utilizing our streaming network.
It is our goal to be back in school five days a week; we are currently operating in a hybrid model with Monday-Thursday face-to-face and Friday online for everyone. This format is scheduled through September this way with Friday, October 2, being planned as TBD (to be determined). We will communicate about our intentions regarding future Friday's in my next weekly update.
If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
All the best,
Don Killingbeck, Superintendent of Schools
The following are lessons learned from this week.
- Nothing is impossible when you have a great team!
- Even your best plans run into a squirrel or two.
- Families continue to want face-to-face at a higher rate.
- Positivity continues at a high level from our students and staff.
50TH ANNUAL SENIOR CITIZEN THANKSGIVING DINNER
Due to regulations, executive orders, and the time needed to execute this event correctly, we find it necessary to postpone the 50th Annual Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner.
In recent history, this event has occurred on a Friday in early to mid-November. When the regulations and executive orders allow us to put on an event like this, we will review and schedule it with enough notice to properly execute this event.
Please remember our senior citizens as they need this type of social event even more so this year. Give one of your elderly friends a call or send them a card or drop off a special meal/gift; trust me, it will make their day!

Holiday Craft Show
GREAT NEWS! Our Lumberjack Holiday Craft show is going to continue to go on this year! With recent events that have happened this year, we had to move our event outdoors to comply with the governors orders, and we have moved up our event 1 month earlier to Saturday Oct. 17th 2020 at Richland Twp Park.
Since Sawdust Days had to be postponed until 2021, we need to raise funds for our scholarship and community donations. All proceeds from this event will go directly towards the scholarship and community fund where we give back to others. We will also have a silent auction in the barn and we are asking for anyone who is willing to donate any items, we would gladly appreciate it! Send us a message to let us know!
Interested in becoming a vendor? Please go to our website at: https://www.hemlocksawdustdays.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Lumberjack-Holiday-Bazzar-Vendor-Application-1.pdf Vendor spots are limited, so it will be first come first serve. Save the date! For more information, please see our event
