End of the Year Celebration is starting off great!!
We are grateful for State Superintendent Dr. Michael Rice's visit to Saginaw ISD and his joint advocacy for increased state budget resources to prioritize student mental health and social emotional learning services throughout Michigan. #SaginawISD
What a week these students have had advocating for mental health! From meeting with the Lt Governor on Monday to discuss what they want to see in schools, to meeting with State Superintendent Rice and State Director Hertel from DHHS today as part of a roundtable and press conference, these students are helping to lead the way! These students and their peers are so impressive!Thank you Mary Ellen Johnson for hosting these students at the Youth Protection Council in December! Had that encounter not occurred, these students may never have raised their voice on this important issue.
Calling Young Entrepreneurs! See this wonderful Dare to Dream opportunity from Duperon Education!
End of the Year Celebration event tomorrow at Claytor!! Hope to see everyone then!!
I am very proud of our @SaginawISD student Youth Ambassador Program leaders for their courageous advocacy with state officials to prioritize the need for increased resources focused on social and mental health services in our schools. #SaginawISD

A huge shout out to Michigan Lt. Governor Gilchrist, Representative O'Neal, and Ms. Geno for supporting social-emotional wellness initiatives with our Cohort 1 youth ambassador leaders today. "Thank you!" #SaginawISD
Tonight we were pleased to recognize our Career and Technical Student Organization National Qualifiers and State Leaders from the Saginaw Career Complex at our Board of Education meeting! Congratulations to all( and good luck to our Skills competitors who compete in late June!
Cohort 1 of our Youth Ambassador Program has rallied around mental health, as a result of their Junior Leadership Saginaw experience. This purely organic grassroots effort has morphed into full blown advocacy. Today, these students had the opportunity to talk to Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist one on one about mental health and what they wish to see in their schools. To say we are proud of these students is a gross understatement.
