A big "orange" shoutout to the Saginaw ISD Special Education Supervisors and their team for donating thoughtful gifts to the children from Brunkow Head Start, who were displaced by a fire last month. Each gift reflects the passions of our Special Education Supervisors—encouraging children to explore, read, and enjoy the outdoors. #OurStory #SpecialEducation #SpreadKindness
