Allise Noble, resident art instructor from Michigan Arts Access, had her last session with our Millet Mustangs last week. Students loved working in a variety of mediums and learned about accomplished artists, many of whom had disabilities or exceptionalities themselves. Thank you, Allise, for dedicating your time and expertise to teaching our students the wonderful world of art. Your guidance and passion have truly made a difference in their creative journey. #SaginawISD 🎨
Millet Learning Center Paraprofessional Zoey Parker would like to nominate Custodian Travis Culver for an Orange Spot Recognition. Zoey says, "I have seen him help people with cleanup, lifting, and other tasks, and he goes out of his way. He even helped me in my room by cleaning extra places and getting my laundry basket from the kitchen. Travis loves to joke with others and makes them smile, even if our staff is having a bad day; he always has a special joke to cheer them up and helps anyone in need." 🧡🐸 #OrangeFrog #Custodians #Recognition #MLC #GoMustangs
Congratulations to our #SaginawISD team members who are celebrating a service anniversary this week! #OurStory
