Transitions Center paraprofessionals Jerry Fritz and Paul Perreault began working together over 60 years ago at Eaton Corporation. Now, both 80 years young, they continue to show up every day to support and inspire students.

The Transitions Center is lucky to have them!

Hands-on moments like these make learning engaging, memorable, and something students look forward to!

Orange Spot nominations continue to roll in for Program Secretary Janis Turney of Millet Learning Center!

Brenna Polzin shared, “I don’t know what I would do without Janis! Since I started in the building, she has been a constant source of not just information, building norms, and helpful reminders, but also positivity, support, and friendly conversation. She’s grace under pressure and keeps this place running without breaking a sweat. We’re so lucky to have her! I’d love to nominate her for an Orange Frog—she has helped me so much.”

Keep up the amazing work, Janis! 👏

Computer science is not something that should begin at a certain grade level. The exposure to its ideas, vocabulary, and ways of thinking should start early. The goal is not to turn every student into a computer programmer, but to help students understand the concepts and language that shape the technology around them. These books will be added into the REMC Lending Library for checkout after spring break. #SaginawISD #OurStory #REMC

Graphic with the headline “Start the Conversation Early” and large text reading “Future Ready.” A cartoon book character stands on top of a stack of books in front of a library bookshelf background. Surrounding the character are several children’s technology themed books including “Artificial Intelligence for Babies,” “Python for Kids,” “Quantum Computing for Babies,” “A Kids Book About AI,” and “The AI Navigator.” The image promotes introducing computer science and AI concepts to children at a young age through books and early exposure to technology topics.

Merrill preschoolers got into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day today by designing and building their own leprechaun traps! 🍀 Using different classroom materials, the children worked together to share ideas, problem-solve, and get creative while thinking about how they might catch a sneaky leprechaun. Hands-on activities like this encourage imagination and teamwork. Now we’ll have to wait and see if a leprechaun visits our classroom tonight! 🌈✨

The flooded fields at Murphy Farm Preschool turned into a day of boating experiences for the kids in Ms. Megan's classroom. They took a ride in the canoe and tested to see if their homemade boats would sink or float. How cool! #SaginawISD #OurStory

This week, students from Handley Elementary School visited Hartley and participated in a class on Nature Photography. During the lesson, they learned how photography has evolved over time—from early film cameras to the digital cameras and phones used today. Students also explored how changing the angle of a photo can make an image more interesting, practicing techniques such as shooting from above, below, and up close to capture nature in creative ways. #HartleyOEC #SaginawISD #OurStory
