School Social Worker Jessika Doyle has nominated Visually Impaired Assistant Amber Sweatland for an Orange Spot Recognition!

Jessika shared, “Amber has been a tremendous asset in our STEP Program at Merrill. She originally supported a student in a different role, but when that student was out for a period of time, she stepped in to help in our STEP room. Although she shared that it was outside of her comfort zone, she still showed up and supported our staff and students. I hope she knows her support means more than she realizes.”

Thank you, Amber, for your flexibility, dedication, and heart for students. Your willingness to step up and serve wherever needed truly makes a difference.

In honor of Career and Technical Education Month, we’re proud to spotlight more than a dozen students from across Saginaw County who are enrolled in Career and Technical Education programs at the Saginaw Career Complex. Thanks to the 2018 county-wide CTE Millage and the continued support of our voters, enrollment at the Saginaw Career Complex has more than doubled, expanding access to hands-on learning and career-connected experiences.

Because of this community investment, students and districts can access these programs at no additional cost, allowing students to earn valuable skills, credentials, and college credit while preparing for their future, all while still in high school. Be on the lookout for CTE student billboards going up across our community as we celebrate the opportunities CTE provides throughout Saginaw County. #CTEMonth #ExperienceYourFuture #SCC

Last week, the Computer Science for All team at Jerome STEM Campus reached a milestone moment in early childhood education. The team partnered with Cheryl Wilson from the Michigan Department of Education to develop the schools first Strategic CSforALL Resource and Implementation Planning framework, also known as the SCRIPT. This work establishes a powerful roadmap for the future of computer science instruction at Jerome.

With the leadership and innovation of this forward-thinking team, Jerome is now the FIRST early childhood campus in the state to complete this groundbreaking achievement. The CSforALL SCRIPT outlines clear 3, 6, 12, and 36 month goals focused on curriculum, leadership development, teacher professional learning, and infrastructure, all in support of Michigan’s statewide mission to expand equitable access to computer science for all students.

Please join us in congratulating this outstanding team: Jessica Theile (teacher), Sandra Rabadue (teacher), Elaina Hewitt (teacher), Jennifer Steckly (teacher), LaToya Sewell (teacher), Corey Nichols (Jerome STEM Principal), Mark Lyons (Instructional Technology and STEM Integration Program Director), and Cheryl Wilson (MDE Computer Science Consultant).

Congratulations to the entire team for your continued dedication, innovation, and commitment to creating future ready learning experiences for students.
