Families from Saginaw ISD’s Brucker Preschool Parent Club recently had the opportunity to learn more about the ICAN Literacy Project from Ms. Tracey. She provided books for children to take home and enjoy with their families.

The group also spent time planting flowers that the children were able to take home. Flowers, soil, and pots were generously donated by Abele Greenhouse and Garden Center.

On Wednesday at Transitions Center, we celebrated our incredible paraprofessionals.

Your dedication, patience, flexibility, and support make a difference in ways that often go unseen—but are never unappreciated. Quite simply, it would be impossible to do our jobs without you. You are the heart of so much of what we do, and our students are better because of you every single day.

♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for all that you do!
