Congratulations Penny Helfrich! Your positivity and willingness to help is sparking happiness all around the Saginaw ISD!!
A coworker said, " I consulted Penny about a student that was struggling with some sensory and handwriting issues. She quickly gathered the materials needed to help the student and she also shared those materials with the teacher and parent. Penny always has a positive attitude in everything she does. She goes out of her way to support staff, students and families."
