🎓👏 Congratulations to the student graduates of the Power of Dad mentorship program at Saginaw Middle School!

Over the past several Fridays, students participated in weekly mentorship sessions focused on life skills, communication, discipline, conflict resolution, and personal growth through the Power of Dad program.

The program wrapped up today with students receiving certificates of completion — but not before learning one final skill: how to tie a tie.

More importantly, students built relationships, gained confidence, shared laughs, and learned lessons they can carry with them beyond the classroom. Many students said they are already looking forward to participating again next year.

Thank you to the mentors and community leaders who continue investing time, guidance, and encouragement into our students.

MLive photographer Kaytie Boomer visited Loomis Elementary to spotlight kindergartner Meciah Thomas, who recently ranked #1 in the United States in the World Maths Day competition among kindergarten students.

While students were excited to see Meciah being recognized for his incredible accomplishment, many were just as fascinated by the camera and the work happening behind the scenes.

Who knows? Loomis may not only have a math genius in the Class of 2038—but maybe a few future journalists, photographers, and multimedia specialists too. 📸🧠

Strong community partnerships continue making a difference for our students across SPSD.

Friday at Saginaw Middle School, students gathered in the media center for another impactful session with Team LOYALTY and founder Terry Reed through the Boys to Men mentorship program.

Students were engaged in real conversations about decision-making, conflict resolution, critical thinking, accountability, and life choices—lessons designed to help young people grow both inside and outside the classroom.

Team LOYALTY works with students throughout the Saginaw Public School District year-round, providing mentorship, encouragement, and guidance that helps students build confidence and navigate challenges in positive ways.

Thank you to Terry Reed and Team LOYALTY for continuing to invest in our students and our community.

🛠️🎉 Congratulations to the SCC Auto Collision program!

The Saginaw Career Complex Auto Collision program, led by instructor Mr. Conners, was selected as the winner of the Dewalt and Hubbard Supply Classroom Makeover Contest, earning $15,000 in tools and equipment for students.

The winning entry featured a student-produced video showcasing the program, its needs, and the impact the upgrades will have on students preparing for careers in the skilled trades.

The award will provide new banners, cordless and hand tools, PPE equipment, and additional resources that will be ready for students during the upcoming school year.

“This means that the students will be able to work with top-of-the-line tools and become familiar with the tools that they will be using in the field,” said SCC Principal Ben Leal.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Mitt Foley added, “Partners like Dewalt understand the importance of CTE programs and the Saginaw Career Complex and what it is doing for kids.”

Congratulations to our SCC students and staff on this outstanding accomplishment!
