The best way to spread Christmas cheer is simple… kindness for all to hear! This season, some of our Saginaw ISD team put that message into action. Each person completed one small, thoughtful act of kindness for our staff — a note of appreciation, a sweet treat, or a helping hand. These gestures may have been simple, but their impact was powerful. They traveled through our buildings, lifted spirits, and reminded us that appreciation and joy are meant to be shared. And the best part? Anyone can join in the fun. A small act of kindness can make a big difference — and the joy keeps moving when we all take part. Who's next? Share your act of kindness and post it in the comments. #SaginawISD #OurStory

🧡 ORANGE SHOUT OUT 🧡

Dr. Senkowski would like to give a huge orange appreciation to Stephanie Eickholt for her outstanding leadership and dedication as our Preschool Education Administrator. During this past week’s onsite GSRP visit, Stephanie led with grace and clarity and continues to receive high praise from our partners for her support.

Her thoughtful oversight, strong collaboration across Saginaw County, and unwavering focus on quality and compliance ensure our youngest learners and the staff who serve them are supported at the highest level. Stephanie’s leadership, both behind the scenes and in the field, makes a meaningful difference every day. SISD and our Early Childhood partners are stronger because of her. Thank you, Stephanie, for all you do.🧡

Autism Spectrum Disorder Teacher Jeff Wegner is very proud of Andre and Eric for safely and responsibly taking part in a community outing to The Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth!

Andre strengthened his community integration skills by reserving a mini-golf time slot, counting the correct amount of money, and ordering pizza from the menu at lunch. Eric focused on building his fine-motor skills while shooting pool.

Thank you to da Vinci’s in Frankenmuth for surprising Andre with a birthday cupcake, and to Mr. Jimmie and Mr. Tony for supporting a successful class outing! #MilletStrong #Saginaw ISD #OurStory

This season at SISD, our purpose is clear,
To serve our students, families, and partners near.
From ringing bells out in the cold winter air,
To cooking for staff and showing we care.
With little learners, big dreams, and virtual courts on the rise,
We spark curiosity, creativity, and futures before our eyes.
To storytellers behind the scenes capturing moments before our eyes.
Together this season—and all year through—
SISD is proud to serve, support, and grow with you.
Happy Holidays from our SISD family to yours.

A festive green holiday graphic featuring the Saginaw ISD logo at the top of a decorated Christmas tree. Below the logo are Polaroid-style photos showing SISD staff serving the community: preparing food in a kitchen, engaging in an esports activity with students, comforting a young child, volunteering at a food drive, ringing a bell for charity outside a store, and photographing a holiday scene near a Christmas tree. Ornaments, ribbon, and snowflake accents surround the collage. The words “Community Impact” appear at the bottom of the image.

’Twas a few nights before holiday break, when kindness appeared, for goodwill’s sake. Across SISD, both thoughtful and true, small gestures were shared by a generous few.

A handwritten note, a treat warm and sweet, simple reminders that made spirits meet. Nothing too grand, just moments sincere, showing our coworkers how much they’re held dear.

Holiday-themed collage on a red snowy background with the words “Kindness in Action” in white script. Five photos show small acts of appreciation among Saginaw ISD staff: an iced coffee and bag with a handwritten note labeled “Fox,” a festive greenery arrangement with ornaments and a card labeled “Karen,” a smiling staff member wearing a Santa hat holding a card labeled “Brittany,” a close-up of a handwritten card labeled “Teresa” with the Saginaw ISD logo below, and a staff member holding a thank-you card and a small treat.

Today we took a moment to recognize our IT and Technology Services team at Saginaw ISD.

Much of their work happens behind the scenes, but it keeps our systems running, our data secure, and our staff connected. When technology works the way it should, it’s because this team planned, supported, and solved problems before most of us even noticed.

Thank you for the work you do every day.

The event created a welcoming, inclusive experience where every child could enjoy the magic of the season at their own comfort level.
