Congratulations!
Two SASA teams brought their environmental science knowledge to the Michigan State Envirothon Competition last week. The first day of the competition was spent working with experts and touring the amazing Geology Laboratories at Western Michigan University. The second day was spent at ponds, in fields and in the woods competing in hand-on tests in the Envirothon categories of Energy, Agriculture, Wildlife, Aquatics, Forestry and Community Service. Even though this was SASA's first time entering the competition, we brought home First Place in Wildlife, Third Place in Aquatics, Third Place in Energy, and Fifth and Sixth Place in Community Service. Congratulations SASA Envirothon Teams!
The Baseball game scheduled at Nouvel has been cancelled for this afternoon. The Girls Soccer game in Shepherd is still on for tonight.
There will be no open Gym this evening. Students do not need to bring backpacks or instruments tomorrow for Unity Day. Also, a friendly reminder to refrain from picking up students early unless it is an emergency. If early pickup is necessary, please do so during student lunch times.
Unity Day is 2 days away! We are still in need of 150 2-liters of pop for Wednesday. If you would be willing to drop any quantity off in the office it would be greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to this fun annual event and appreciate your generosity to make this day wonderful for all students!

SASA National Honor Society Students Spring Into Service!
SASA students worked with other area high schools to celebrate 25 years of impact with Spring into Service, a proud partnership between the Saginaw Community Foundation and the United Way of Saginaw County. From mulching and weeding to organizing supplies and making blankets, our students rolled up their sleeves and gave back, making a real world impact and important memories. Here’s to tradition, teamwork, and the power of youth in action at SASA and in Saginaw!

SASA WEEK 36 GAME SCHEDULE
Steel pans must be tuned at least once a year to maintain sound quality and playability. With only seven professional tuners in the United States, it is essential to schedule tuning appointments well in advance. This month, Alan Coyle, a renowned steel pan maker and tuner, was in Michigan and visited our program to tune the class instruments. Students in the Steel Pan Ensemble, the SASA Steelers, had the unique opportunity to observe the tuning process firsthand and engage in a Q&A session about steel pan construction, maintenance, and performance. We also learned that Alan was personally trained by Ellie Mannette, the pioneer of the modern steel pan, an especially exciting connection to the instrument’s history.
We are grateful to the Saginaw Choral Society for their continued sponsorship of the SASA Steelers program, which helps make experiences like this possible.
SASA WEEK 35 GAME SCHEDULE

We’re thrilled to announce that FIVE outstanding SASA students have been selected for the prestigious Germany For You Scholarship, offered by Youth For Understanding USA (YFU)!
These deserving students will spend two weeks this summer immersed in German culture, attending vocational classes, touring historic and cultural sites, connecting with host families, and building friendships with peers abroad.
This life changing, full scholarship is awarded to students who meet high academic and character standards. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements and initiative.
Way to go, Dragons! We can’t wait to hear about your adventures!
