A few of our Jerome STEM Preschool students had a wonderful time exploring the greenhouse and discovering the many plants growing inside! 🌱🌼

Throughout the school year, Jerome students have grown tomatoes, peppers, basil, and so much more. During their latest visit, these young learners enjoyed admiring the colorful flowers and seeing firsthand how plants change and grow over time.

What a fun and engaging way to bring STEM learning to life while fostering curiosity and a love of nature!

Students at the Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center recently concluded their Garden Project Unit, a hands-on learning experience that has been several months in the making. Today marked the culminating activity as students planted the seeds and plants they have been preparing for throughout the unit.

Throughout the summer, students will help care for the garden and will have the opportunity to enjoy the vegetables they grow. Staff shared that students were highly engaged in the project and took great pride in their work. The excitement and smiles throughout the day reflected the meaningful impact of this learning experience.

Congratulations to the JDC staff and students for their hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm during this outstanding project!

As we head into summer break, the Wellness Committee would like to encourage everyone to consider trying a digital detox; an intentional break from phones, computers, televisions, and other devices. Whether it's for a few hours, a weekend, or even a full week, unplugging from technology can be a great way to recharge and reconnect with life beyond the screen.

Research shows that taking a break from constant connectivity can help improve sleep and energy levels, reduce stress, sharpen focus, support brain health, and strengthen relationships through more meaningful face-to-face interactions. It can also increase productivity while giving our minds a much-needed rest from information overload.

As you enjoy the summer months, consider setting aside some screen-free time to read a book, spend time outdoors, connect with family and friends, or simply enjoy a quiet moment without notifications.

The Wellness Committee hopes you have a safe, relaxing, and restorative summer break!
