Mrs. Chenelle, Mrs. Tammy, Mrs. Courtney, and Mrs. Vicky’s students at our Adams site had a special visitor from the Butman-Fish Library! Mrs. Michelle stopped by for a fun-filled storytime featuring There’s a Monster in Your Book.
The children listened to the story, sang along to “If You’re a Monster and You Know It,” and especially loved spending time with Mrs. Michelle and her puppet! 💜
Thank you, Mrs. Michelle and the Butman-Fish Library, for bringing the joy of reading, music, and imagination to our students!

🚒 Fire Safety Comes to Life at Millet!
Students in Ms. Tammy Britton’s classroom at Millet Learning Center had some special visitors from the Bridgeport Fire Department! Students got an up-close look at a fire truck, learned about the equipment firefighters use, and talked about important ways to stay safe in an emergency.
Experiences like these give our students the opportunity to learn from the community around them while making important safety lessons meaningful and memorable.
A big thank you to the Bridgeport Fire Department for spending time with our students and helping them learn about fire safety! ❤️🚒

Throughout the month, Saginaw ISD will be sharing information and resources to help build awareness and understanding of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
AAC includes all the ways a person communicates in addition to, or instead of, spoken words. This may include speech-generating devices, communication boards, pictures and symbols, sign language, gestures, body language, and more.
AAC is not “just a device” — it is a person’s voice, connection, participation, and access to the world around them.
This week, we’re starting with the basics: What is AAC?
💙 Different voices. Different ways of communicating. Every voice deserves to be heard.

It takes all of us to make our schools special! 💙
Jerome Preschool Custodian Alex Rutledge says one of the best parts of his job is getting to spend his days around our students—and judging by these smiles, the feeling might be mutual! 😊
From keeping our learning spaces clean and welcoming to being another friendly face our students see throughout the day, team members like Alex are an important part of the school community.
Thank you, Alex, for helping make Jerome a great place for our littlest learners!

Learning the Rules of the Road—Behind the Wheel! 🚗
SOAR students in Driver’s Training are getting hands-on practice with our new driving simulator! Students can experience a variety of road and driving conditions while building their skills and receiving real-time feedback on their performance.
From navigating different scenarios to practicing safe decision-making, the simulator gives students an engaging way to strengthen their confidence and put the rules of the road into action before hitting the road.
What a great addition to the learning experience for our SOAR students!

Hard at Work at the Panther Pack Café! ☕
Our post-secondary ASD students from Millet Learning Center were hard at work this morning at the Panther Pack Café in Birch Run!
From wiping tables and counters to sweeping floors, cleaning windows, moving chairs, and making sure the café was ready for the next group of customers, our students were busy putting their employability and independent living skills into action.
These real-world work experiences give our students opportunities to practice responsibility, teamwork, following routines, and taking pride in a job well done.
We are proud of the effort, determination, and growth we see from our students every day!
Great job, Mustangs!

Our custodians do so much more than keep our buildings clean. They help create safe, welcoming spaces where students can learn, staff can work, and our entire school community can thrive.
Much of their work happens behind the scenes, but its impact can be seen and felt every single day. From early mornings to late evenings, their hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to our schools make a difference across Saginaw ISD.
On School Custodian Appreciation Day, we’re proud to recognize and thank our incredible custodial teams for everything they do.
Custodians, we see you, we value you, and we appreciate you! 💙🧡
