Saginaw ISD

The Wellness Committee encourages everyone to challenge the common excuses that can get in the way of staying active. Whether it's "I'm too busy," "I'm too tired," or "I don't like to exercise," remember that movement doesn't have to be complicated. Even a short walk, gardening, stretching, or listening to a favorite podcast while being active can make a positive difference.

With the warmer weather here, it's a great time to take advantage of the many local summer activities highlighted in The Connection magazine. Explore a community event, visit a local park, or simply enjoy a walk with family or friends. Finding activities you enjoy is one of the best ways to make movement a lasting habit.

The Wellness Committee encourages everyone to get moving by finding simple ways to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Regular movement supports both physical and mental well-being, and it doesn't have to involve a gym or fancy equipment.

Choose activities you enjoy, break up long periods of sitting, focus on the many health benefits beyond the number on the scale, and plan ahead to help make movement a consistent part of your day. Small steps can lead to lasting healthy habits.

At our last Board of Education meeting, we had the privilege of recognizing several of our retiring staff members for their dedication and service to Saginaw ISD. While some were able to join us in person, we know many are already enjoying well-earned vacations, celebrating with loved ones, and embracing the start of their next chapter.

Together, these 10 retirees represent 193 years of service to students, families, and our community. Thank you for the lasting impact you have made across Saginaw County. We wish each of you a happy, healthy, and fulfilling retirement! #ThankYouForYourService

The Wellness Committee encourages everyone to make time for movement and relaxation by exploring the benefits of yoga. No matter your experience level, yoga can help improve overall well-being and support both physical and mental health.

Whether it's a few minutes of stretching in the morning or winding down with a calming pose at the end of the day, simple practices can help boost energy, improve balance, relieve stress, support better sleep, and promote relaxation.
