Thanks to a federal grant awarded to Saginaw ISD, we have developed and distributed "therapy bags" to all 3-5 year-olds enrolled in special education services. These bags, crafted by our skilled therapists and preschool teachers, are designed to extend the learning experience from school to home. This year, we successfully provided this invaluable tool to nearly 200 preschoolers throughout Saginaw County. Our staff have diligently packed and started delivering these bags today, perfectly timed for the holiday season. We'd love to see the joy these bags bring!
