Last Friday, we celebrated a special milestone at Millet Learning Center during our annual Completion Ceremony!

Congratulations to Jeffery Beckom, Mychael Lewis, Alayna Ostrowski, Nino Parker, Keyshawn Powell, Shawn Taylor, and Joseph Wooten on this incredible achievement. We also recognized James Burk and Shane Ostrander as they prepare for their next chapter at the Transitions Center. We also took time to honor and remember Anta'Nayja Archibald and Lamareiana Thomas, who will always be part of the Millet family.

Thank you to the families who partnered with us throughout this journey and to the dedicated Millet staff who helped make these moments possible. We are so proud of each student and excited for what comes next. #MilletMustangs

May is a time to celebrate a great school year, and that’s exactly what Ms. Ashley’s class did with their annual school picnic!

The fun began yesterday as students created a shopping list, took a trip to the dollar store for supplies, and prepared side dishes during cooking class. All of their hard work paid off as they enjoyed outdoor games before sitting together for a special picnic lunch.

Sometimes the little things make a big difference.

After only one month with Saginaw ISD, paraprofessional Brittany Csiki was pleasantly surprised when one of her students in the SOAR program went out of her way to handmake Mother’s Day cards for all of her teachers and paraprofessionals.

“It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly validated my decision to join the ISD,” Brittany shared.

The SOAR Program now has a new driving simulator in Mr. Palmer’s classroom, and students are already enjoying learning how to use it!

This simulator will help SOAR students build confidence behind the wheel and better prepare them to practice in a real vehicle as they work toward earning their driver’s licenses.

A special thank you to Executive Director of Special Education Dave Krantz for making this opportunity possible for our students!
