Who’s that Orange Frog? Wendy Zaruba, Program Secretary, is a very busy lady supporting three SISD departments - Career and Technical Education, REMC, and Technology. Yet when asked last year to assist the Orange Frog trainers with preparing personalized documents for ALL workshop participants, she “hoppily” agreed! Tina Bacigalupo would like to nominate Wendy Zaruba for Orange Spot Recognition for going above and beyond in providing outstanding service with a smile to CTE and contributing to the Happiness Advantage at Saginaw ISD. Thanks for ALL you do, Wendy! We appreciate you!
