Principal Nichols and Ms. Rabadue would like to extend a sincere thank you to Walmart off Bay Road for their generous donation of gross motor and greenhouse supplies to the students at Jerome.

Thanks to this contribution, our students will have new opportunities to strengthen gross motor development while also engaging in hands-on experiences in our greenhouse.

We are grateful for community partners like Manager Ted and Cashier Leon who helped support meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning experiences for our youngest learners.

Leprechauns hid gold coins throughout the building at Millet Center, and students turned them in to Principals Chelsea and Julie to pick a treat of their choice! What a fun activity for everyone involved. Thank you, Chelsea and Julie! #SaginawISD #OurStory #MilletMustangs

It’s beginning to look a lot like spring! 🌱🌷

Our SOAR worksite students and staff have been hard at work all school year preparing, planting, and maintaining flowers and plants for the Transitions Center’s annual plant sale later this spring.

When they’re not in the greenhouse, students are building valuable skills at Abele’s Greenhouse. This week alone, they assembled more than 1,700 flats, which were placed on pallets for our local worksite partner—an incredible accomplishment!

Great work, everyone! 👏

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! 👏
