Business Manager Alyssa Gutowski would like to nominate Director of Instructional Services Chris Bolen for an Orange Spot Recognition. Alyssa says, "Working with Chris in any capacity makes it clear how deeply she cares about education. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with her on many finance-related projects, and last week I watched her lead our team at the Boys and Girls Club in Saginaw with the same dedication and heart she brings to everything she does. I truly appreciate the passion Chris pours into her work. She embodies what it means to serve in education." Thank you, Chris! #OrangeSpot #SaginawISD #OurStory

Last Friday, Saginaw ISD staff members Tess, Corey, and Nikki spent the morning volunteering with Volunteers of America in the Buena Vista Senior Community. They enjoyed conversations, shared plenty of smiles, but the highlight was some exciting games of BINGO with the residents. 💛

They shared that they were grateful for the opportunity to give back, connect, and spread joy in our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day special!
