Stage Two of the Saginaw County Road Commission Paint a Plow Program is officially complete! Over the past two weeks, students from the Saginaw ISD Transition Center Work-Based Learning and SOAR programs have been hard at work alongside our dedicated School to Work team members. Together, they’ve poured their creativity, collaboration, and talent into developing the design templates that will soon bring our plow to life.

We are beyond proud of their efforts and the progress made so far. A heartfelt thank you to our community for your encouragement and support as you follow along with us on this journey. Stay tuned—our masterpiece is unfolding before your eyes, and the best is yet to come. #SaginawISD
