SOAR students and staff visited Major Chords for Minors today to volunteer! They were able to do some cleanup around their facility to keep it looking good. Major Chords for Minors is a non-profit organization that provides free music lessons to students, and we were happy to help out such a cool place. #transitionscentersoar #soarvolunteering #MajorChordsForMinors #TransitionsCenter
Bucket Filler Friday! Dr. Senkowski had the opportunity to see her daughter, Adelyn, a senior at Freeland High School and the Saginaw Career Complex, provide an outstanding tour and program overview for 10th-grade students in the Medical Academy program. The Saginaw Career Complex continues to offer exceptional Career and Technical Education programming for students across Saginaw County who are exploring CTE pathways. #CTE #SCC
Hartley Director Liz Roxberry and Naturalist Andrea Lowshaw recently connected with alumni Joe Leach and Marv Dembinsky, two of Hartley’s earliest staff members.

Huge Orange shoutout to Tony Moryl, Facilities Program Director, and Liz Roxberry, Hartley Program Director, who responded quickly this afternoon to a water line break at Murphy Farm. Their swift action contained the damage and ensured our preschool program was able to continue uninterrupted.
It is always inspiring to see how our team steps in to support one another and problem-solve in real time to ensure our learning environments remain safe, stable, and ready for our students. 🍊
