🗣️ “When every team member collectively authors their school’s story, everyone owns the culture.” — Dr. Collier
Summer is for all kinds of outdoor fun! However, with more going on outside, it’s also a time known for spikes in accidents and injuries. The SISD Wellness Committee believes that with the right safety measures, you can enjoy the longer days and warmer weather without risking your health and safety.
Fire Safety-
• Always grill outside: Never use a grill indoors, on a deck, or close to flammable structures or trees.
• Keep a safe distance: Ensure children and pets stay at least three feet away from grills, campfires, and firepits.
• Leave fireworks to the pros: Skip out on consumer fireworks and enjoy professional, public displays instead.
Water Safety-
• Don’t leave the life jacket behind: Select one that meets safety standards for weight and activity when boating or doing water sports.
• Never swim solo: Swim with a buddy or in areas supervised by a lifeguard.
• Keep an eye on kids: Stay within arm’s reach of children and pets around any body of water.
Biking & Hiking Safety-
• Wear bright clothing: Boost visibility by dressing in bright or reflective gear.
• Stick to daylight hours: Avoid hiking or biking before sunrise or after sunset.
• Stay hydrated and sun-safe: Bring water, wear a hat and sunglasses, and apply sunscreen before heading out (remember to reapply every two hours you’re outside).
#OrangeShoutout to Tony Moryl, SISD Facilities Director! Tony consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our learning environments are safe, clean, and welcoming. His attention to detail and personal touches—like the new rugs at our Claytor campus—help create inviting spaces for both learners and their families. Thank you, Tony, for your commitment to making a difference for our students!

At Saginaw ISD, we’re proud to share kind messages of positivity from our inbox — like this one from Becky George, a grandmother whose family was impacted by the incredible work of our Birch Run Head Start team:
"I just wanted to give a shout-out to how wonderful the Head Start program is in Birch Run. Ms. Morse and Ms. Ashley are amazing professionals and are able to connect, give resources, educate, assist students in bonding, run fantastic lessons, and instill a love for school in a student and her mom who were extremely nervous about school, partly due to COVID. They made a tremendous impact and really were extremely generous with their time, energy, calls, texts, and devotion for all the families they served this year. Charlie had the best year and absolutely loved school. Mom was really proud and happy, too. Thanks so much. I am so impressed, and Head Start has another sibling coming their way as soon as possible.”
Thank you, Ms. Morse and Ms. Ashley, for making school a place where families feel connected, supported, and excited to learn. 💛 #OrangeSpotRecognition #OurStory™ #SaginawISD #BirchRunHeadStart
School Social Worker Christine Boos would like to nominate Speech Pathologist Maija Poyhonen for an Orange Spot Recognition.

The way Maija connects with students and collaborates with the team doesn’t go unnoticed! #OrangeSpot
