Stacy Darrow from Instructional Services would like to recognize the amazing students in Ms. Spendlove’s kindergarten class at Thomas White! Last week, they created adorable turkey name crafts, with each feather showing a letter in their name. These kindergartners have been working incredibly hard on learning their letters and sounds, and their effort and enthusiasm are truly something to be thankful for! #GoBearCats

Last week, a team from Merrill Elementary presented at the 2025 Annual MTSS Conference, focused on advancing effective MTSS implementation to support the growth and success of all learners. This two-day event offers educators opportunities to learn about the latest research and best practices in MTSS, strengthen implementation in their own contexts, and connect with colleagues from across the state.

The Merrill team delivered a presentation titled “A Road Map to the Merrill Miracle: How Systematizing MTSS Drove Us to Success.” They presented to a packed room and shared their powerful journey of building a systematic MTSS framework and using data-based decision-making to improve outcomes for all students. #SaginawISD
