Trista Scheil, Payroll Specialist, would like to nominate Tammy Cavendish, Director of Finance, for an Orange Spot Recognition for her exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to creating an Orange Spot culture! 🧡
Trista shares:
“Tammy truly embodies Saginaw ISD’s mission to Serve, Innovate, and Empower in everything she does. She serves her team, colleagues, and community with genuine intention and care. Her support is unwavering, and no challenge brought to her is ever met with discouragement. Instead, she immediately begins looking for solutions, reminding us that no problem is too big to work through together.
She innovates by approaching challenges with creativity, adaptability, and a proactive mindset. Where others might see obstacles, Tammy sees opportunities. What we sometimes perceive as setbacks, she turns into learning experiences that help us grow.
Most importantly, she empowers those around her. Tammy never misses an opportunity to recognize our efforts, celebrate our successes, or remind us of what we’re capable of. She ensures we have the tools, resources, and encouragement we need to succeed while giving us the confidence to become the best versions of ourselves.
Tammy brings a warmth and positivity to the workplace that is truly contagious. She is a bright light, a constant source of encouragement, and the kind of leader who makes people feel valued, supported, and excited about the work they do.
Tammy doesn’t just promote Orange Spot culture. She creates it, lives it, and inspires it in everyone around her. We wouldn’t be the team we are without her.”
Thank you, Tammy, for your outstanding leadership and for making Saginaw ISD a place where others feel valued, encouraged, and empowered! 🧡

There was plenty of exploring, moving, and learning happening in the sensory room for Ms. Tammy Britton’s class at Millet Learning Center!
With support from Occupational Therapist Ms. Lanette, students worked on both gross and fine motor skills through hands-on activities designed to encourage movement, coordination, and engagement.
These moments may look like play, but they’re also opportunities for our students to practice important skills and build confidence along the way! 💙

Students from the Saginaw Career Complex (SCC) recently took their learning outdoors during a visit to Hartley Nature Center! As part of their visit, students conducted a walking audit of the property, exploring opportunities for future projects and potential collaborations with SCC’s Building Trades program. This hands-on experience gave students a chance to see how the skills they’re developing in the classroom can make a meaningful impact right here in our community.
We love seeing our Saginaw ISD programs come together to create real-world learning opportunities for students! 👏

Our preschool students at the Saginaw Career Complex had a magnetic time exploring the wonders of science! Students learned about magnets, discovered which objects are magnetic and which are not, and then put their new knowledge to the test! Armed with their very own magnets, they explored their classroom to see what they could find. Hands-on activities like these encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while making learning fun!
Way to go, little scientists! 🔬🧲
