What a fantastic first day back in the cafeteria for Millet Learning Center students! 🍎🥪
From finding their seats and catching up with old friends to cleaning up after themselves like pros, lunch was a huge success. The cafeteria was buzzing with smiles, laughter, and great energy.
“We are so proud of how thoughtful, polite, and responsible everyone was,” said teacher Amy Kohnert. “If today’s lunch period is any indication, it’s going to be a wonderful year at Millet!”
Saginaw ISD wishes all Millet Learning Center students, staff, and families a happy, successful, and memorable school year! Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, friendship, and plenty more smiles.

If you need a bedtime snack, consider options that provide a balance of nutrients without being too heavy. Foods like a banana with almond butter, Greek yogurt with berries, whole grain crackers with hummus, or cottage cheese with pineapple are simple choices that can help satisfy hunger while supporting healthy sleep habits. Small adjustments to your nighttime routine can make a meaningful difference in how rested and refreshed you feel each day.
Carrollton Leadership Camp students recently spent time at Hartley Outdoor Education Center, where learning, leadership, and teamwork came together! 🌿
Throughout their visit, students participated in hands-on team-building activities and STEM challenges, including designing and building parachutes and boats. These experiences encouraged students to think creatively, solve problems, collaborate, and put their leadership skills into action.
What a great way to learn, grow, and work together!
