Check out this cool color mixing activity in Mrs. Hewitt's and Ms. Curtis's class at Jerome! Students used color mixing tabs to see how color changes in water and what happens when you mix colors together. Students had the opportunity to feel like scientists. #SaginawISD #OurStory

Early Head Start Lead Teacher, Kelly Bull, would like to give an Orange Spot Nomination to two of her amazing colleagues and friends, Shayna Damen and Melissa Maslowski.

Kelly shares, “As I navigated a personal loss, these two caring souls offered words of comfort and compassion, along with support throughout the workday so I could continue doing my job, even while grieving. Shayna and Melissa have helped—and continue to help—me through this difficult time, and I don’t know how I could ever repay their kindness.” 🧡

Thank you for being you Shayna and Melissa!
