Two generations, one shared passion: giving every student a voice! Saginaw ISD teacher Dana Polzin attended the Talking Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Conference 2026 alongside her daughter, Isabelle Polzin, who teaches for the Gratiot-Isabella RESD. They each gained valuable insights and strategies to help students achieve their communication goals through AAC. #TalkingAAC

Our Central Campus Admin team certainly showed up and showed OUT for today's Thanksgiving Potluck Wednesday! From the incredible variety and quality of dishes to the unique homemade creations, there was no shortage of delicious food, full plates, and reasons to be thankful! Team members were invited to share what they are thankful for by adding their thoughts to the "Thankful Pumpkin." Superintendent Dr. Collier and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Senkowski then randomly selected two entries to receive festive prizes! It was a wonderful reminder that while the food brings everyone to the table, it's the people, connections, and moments shared that make this team so special. 🧡#OurStory
Today, our Early Head Start Home Visiting Program visited the American Legion for a special Veterans Day gathering! Children enjoyed making crafts alongside veterans, creating patriotic snack mix, and participating in parachute play.
Together, they recited the Pledge of Allegiance and learned about the American flag. The visit was a wonderful opportunity to connect generations, create memories, and honor those who have served our country.
A heartfelt thank you to the veterans who welcomed our little learners and shared this special day with us! 🇺🇸

Liz Roxberry, Hartley Outdoor Education Center Program Director, would like to nominate Fayerene Meeks for Orange Spot Recognition.
Faye consistently goes above and beyond to support individuals across our district, and she truly deserves recognition for the excellence she brings to our team.
As our Finance Software Supervisor, Faye ensures that we have the tools, resources, and support necessary to better serve our exceptional staff district-wide. What makes her stand out, however, is not just what she does, but how she does it. She takes the time to problem-solve right alongside you, approaches every interaction with one-on-one support, and has a contagious positive demeanor.
Faye has a remarkable ability to make even the most challenging situations feel manageable. Her knowledge, patience, and responsiveness make her an invaluable resource and a wonderful partner to work with. She is truly a bright light in every interaction I have with her.
Our district is stronger because of people like you, Faye, who take pride in supporting others and go the extra mile to help everyone succeed. Thank you for all that you do. Your dedication, kindness, and commitment to excellence do not go unnoticed!

Mrs Stacey and Ms Christine's classes at Millet Learning Center engaged in a Puking Pumpkin science experiment utilizing acids and bases. We watched science videos and made predictions prior to the experiment. We compared the amount of bubbles, color mixing and how much vinegar and baking soda and dish soap to use.
