We received an email from a childcare provider in Genesee County who gave the following "orange" statement: "Thank you so much, Joani Leisen and Shannon Thompson from Great Start...you both have been a true inspiration, emotional support, guidance in daycare information, research and a collaboration of extraordinary workmanship, information, kindness, and friendship, it has been my pleasure to work with you. An AMAZING TEAM." We are proud of the examples they provide to our families and providers! #OrangeSpot #SaginawISD #OurStory

Today is National Caregiver Appreciation Day! Please take a moment to honor and thank the selfless caregivers who dedicate their time, energy, and compassion to those in need—whether caring for individuals with disabilities, illnesses, or the elderly. At the Saginaw Career Complex, students in the Nursing program are learning firsthand what it means to be a caregiver. Through a partnership with Hoyt Nursing Home, they gain real-world experience in a clinical setting, developing the skills and empathy needed to make a difference in patients' lives. Thank you to our healthcare providers as well as our incredible SCC instructors who work in the field of taking care of others! We appreciate you! #CaregiverAppreciationDay #CTEWorks #FutureHealthcareHeroes #ourctestory #OurStory
