Yesterday’s Dining with Dad's at Hemmeter was one for the books! 💛

We shared lunch, laughter, and lots of teamwork as our dads helped their kiddos build their very own make-and-take projects. Little hands got creative with paint while dads stepped in as the “construction crew," and the results were amazing!

A huge thank you to The Home Depot for providing the building kits and helping us create such a special family engagement event. Nothing beats quality time, creativity, and making memories together! 🛠️🎨

A sunny day followed by a huge rainstorm sets the perfect stage for a magical preschool treasure hunt for the Murphy Farm Preschoolers! We found a sled full of toys, pumpkins from an old experiment, a pair of mittens, tracks, and some animal bones and antlers. A couple deer joined us as they hunted for some treats to eat. #SaginawISD #OurStory

Congratulations to our Director of CTE, Josh Miller, on his first time presenting to the Board of Education this week! Josh provided an update on the continued growth of the Saginaw Career Complex, including nearly doubling student enrollment since the passage of the 2018 CTE Millage. As the fiscal agent of the millage, Saginaw ISD has distributed more than $20 million in reimbursements to our local school districts over time, removing financial barriers and expanding access to high-quality CTE programming for students across Saginaw County.

We’re looking forward to expanding additional programs at SCC, pending approval, and to continuing to build on this momentum. We’re also grateful for the strong partnership with Saginaw Public Schools and for SCC Principal Ben Leal, who attended the meeting and continues to support this important work. Well done, Josh! #CTEMonth #SaginawCountyCTE #OrangeSpot
