National Principals Month
Thank you Mr. Chase!!
The 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

We can't wait to see you there!
THANK YOU FOR 45 YEARS OF DEDICATION TO OUR SCHOOL
Life-long “Hemlockian,” elementary teacher, board member, and so much more has decided to step away after 45 years of service to the children and families of our community. Mary Ann Ling, followed in the footsteps of both her father, Dr. Alex Manzoni, and father-in-law, Dr. Kenneth C. Ling, with service on the school board, has decided not to run in the fall’s election.
Superintendent Killingbeck said, “It was always a pleasure to serve with Mary Ann Ling, she always put children first, was thoughtful in the decision-making process, and held firm when she needed to. I understand her decision, but her absence from the board table will create some big shoes to fill.”
This decision to not run created a vacancy on the school board and some interest from community members that desire to serve. School board elections are somewhat different than in the past when board members ran for specific seats and terms, candidates with the most votes will be elected to serve. This election cycle, we have five candidates vying for three seats at the board table.
Voters will see the following on ballot (alphabetical order);
· Bryan Conger
· Jason Fromholz
· Kimberly Hoeppner, incumbent
· Melissa Konop
· Matt Wesener, incumbent
The community can tune-in and watch our Virtual “Meet the Candidate” event on YouTube to learn more about the candidates.
The primary function of the school board is to set policy, develop goals, and review and adopt budgets (MASB). The board has one employee, the school superintendent.
