Beautiful weather made for the perfect walk to the library! ☀️📚
Two Millet Learning Center classes enjoyed a day of exploring, starting with a scavenger hunt that helped students discover some of the library’s many resources. Afterward, students had time to check out all the cool things the library has to offer before gathering in the Teen Center for a story.
A great day of learning, exploring, and enjoying the community! 💙

Learning beyond the classroom! 📚✨
Millet Learning Center students recently enjoyed a field trip to the library, where they practiced independently navigating the facility and exploring all it has to offer.
From finding their way around to discovering available resources, students had the opportunity to build confidence, independence, and important real-world skills along the way.
Great job, Mustangs! 🧡

Today, Saginaw ISD joins communities across our nation in honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless acts of compassion, service, and humanity that followed.
For many, September 11 is a memory that will never fade. For a new generation of students, it is history — a story entrusted to us to teach, preserve, and carry forward.
As educators, families, and community members, we have an important responsibility to help the next generation understand not only what happened that day, but what emerged in its aftermath: courage in the face of fear, neighbors caring for neighbors, strangers helping strangers, and a shared determination to stand together.
Twenty-five years have passed, but the lives, stories, sacrifices, and lessons of September 11 remain with us.
Today, we remember those we lost. We honor those who served. And we carry their stories forward.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Washing hands seems like a simple daily task, but it’s actually one of our very first lessons in healthy relationships—starting with how we care for ourselves!
This week, Miss Amy's class at Millet Learning Center kicked off our unit by exploring what healthy vs. unhealthy relationships look like, and the students were so engaged! Now, we’re bringing it back to the basics: self-care and personal hygiene.

Orange Spot Recognition: Tracie Brewer & Kate VanTonne 🧡
Executive Director of Human Resources Andrea Wise would like to recognize Tracie Brewer and Kate VanTonne with an Orange Spot nomination for the gold-standard customer service they provided to a candidate throughout the interview process.
Their impact was so meaningful that the candidate took the time to personally thank Tracie and Kate and share an email about the experience. They described the interview process as organized, welcoming, and professional, adding: “I know that kind of experience does not happen by accident. It reflects the culture of the organization.”
That feedback speaks volumes. An exceptional employee experience begins before someone ever becomes an employee, and Saginaw ISD’s culture is reflected in the way people are welcomed, supported, and served from their very first interaction.
Thank you, Tracie and Kate, for creating such a positive and memorable candidate experience and for demonstrating what gold-standard customer service looks like in action! 🧡

This week, the Wellness Committee is highlighting the importance of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and how it can positively impact our work and relationships. From self-awareness and self-regulation to empathy, motivation, and social skills, strengthening our EQ can help us manage stress, communicate effectively, and build stronger connections with others. Take a moment to check out the flyer and reflect on how you can put EQ into practice each day! 💚 #sisdwellness
Little lily-pad lounging. Fly catching. Maybe a refreshing dip in the nearest puddle. You know… frog stuff.
But after yesterday’s wild weather, and more rain predicted for the weekend, Spark is starting to think those plans may be a wash.
Whatever your Labor Day weekend brings, stay safe, stay dry, and enjoy the extra day off!

As Saginaw ISD continues recognizing Deaf and Hard of Hearing Awareness Month, today’s Did You Know? highlights another specialized service available to support students across Saginaw County.
Saginaw ISD provides access to an educational audiologist who can help evaluate how well a student is hearing and accessing sound in the learning environment. Through evaluation, monitoring, and specialized support, educational audiology helps address hearing-related needs that may impact classroom instruction and participation.
It’s another way Saginaw ISD works to ensure students have the individualized support they need to learn and thrive.

Thank you, Courtney, for the love and dedication you bring to the students and teams of St. Charles Community Schools every single day. We are so lucky to have you! 🧡👏
