Only a few more weeks to make a difference with this year's students! |

Thank you, teachers, for all you do!
As we approach the year's end, we continue to express our gratitude for all the ways teachers across Saginaw county have risen to meet the needs brought on by this historic year. Thank you for the heart you've shown. Thank you for the hours you've put in. Thank you for the relationships you've built with students. You've done more than others will ever see or hear about, and your impact is real.

Congratulations to Kateri Angst, Kaylee Colpean, Faith Deal, Betty Neumann, Cassie Neumann, Christine Tarrant, and Linda Whitney, from Chesaning's Big Rock Elementary School!
Their colleague writes, "The Title paraprofessionals at Big Rock Elementary in Chesaning are a strong group of multi-tasking educational rock stars who provide small group instruction in reading and math to many students each day. This group of ladies inspire and encourage their students to work on areas that are hard and feel the success from their hard work. Students know that the paras have the heart to care, hand to hold, and ear to listen. This year of COVID strengthened the services that they provide daily. They have learned how to take their small group interventions and provide them virtually when needed.
Thank you paras for being the unsung heroes to not only the students but the teachers too! We appreciate each one of you!"
