The Great Start Collaborative was honored to speak at the Covenant HealthCare Medical Management Group General Meeting tonight at Horizons! Three GSC parents shared their families' medical journeys. Their inspiring stories will help to strengthen our partnership with medical providers throughout Saginaw County!





For many of us it may seem like it’s still winter time- especially with today’s snow fall. However, these salamanders know it’s really spring time. The students from Central Elementary School in Owosso were so excited to find a few salamanders while out in the woods during their stay at Hartley Outdoor Education Center this past week.

Our STEM Director had the opportunity to partake in a STEM day at Alexander Elementary in Adrian. A great format to duplicate here in the GLBR.





A big shout out to Midland Center for the Arts and Ms. Katie Miller for sharing an engaging, inspirational virtual livestream of “Artrageous” to Millet! Artrageous incorporates many types of art including music, dance, painting, and puppetry inspired by history to tell stories. Our students enjoyed singing and clapping along with the performers!
