🏈 What a Night for SPSD Elementary Flag Football!

Last night’s Elementary Flag Football Playoff Celebration was a great example of what happens when our community shows up for our students.

From the games on the field to the energy in the stands, it was a night filled with excitement, teamwork, and support. We were proud to have community partners like H.E.L.P., Team Loyalty, and the Michigan Arsenal arena football team join us—connecting with students, signing autographs, and adding to the experience.

A big thank you as well to T&T Authentic Mexican Cuisine for keeping everyone fed and energized throughout the evening.

Most importantly, our student-athletes showed what hard work, discipline, and teamwork look like.

🏆 The championship game takes place on Wednesday, May 6—we hope to see the community back out again to support our students!

🍎 Happy National Teacher Day

Today is about recognizing the work that often goes unseen.

The early mornings, the extra time after school, the constant adjustments to meet students where they are—our teachers show up for it all. You guide, support, challenge, and care in ways that shape who our students become.

Saginaw Public Schools is stronger because of you.

Thank you for everything you bring to your classrooms and to our community.

Mrs. Tiff’s class has been learning all about Fiona the Hippo, the tiny preemie who grew into a symbol of strength, resilience, and joy at the Cincinnati Zoo. Our students fell in love with her story of survival and triumph, so they emailed the zoo to share how much Fiona and her books have meant to them. 💛📚
To our amazement, the Cincinnati Zoo wrote back — and sent our class MORE Fiona books! 🦛💌
Even more incredible, Richard Cowdrey, the author and illustrator of the Fiona series, reached out as well and gifted us beautifully made Fiona curriculum guides to support our learning. 🎨📘
These acts of kindness have opened the world a little wider for our students. Moments like this remind us how powerful connection, compassion, and storytelling can be. Thank you to the Cincinnati Zoo and Richard Cowdrey for making our students feel seen, valued, and celebrated. 🌍❤️

🐞✨ Buzzing with curiosity! Our second graders had an exciting hands-on lesson about life cycles and insects, thanks to an amazing presentation by Mr. Kotze from Saginaw Mosquito Abatement. 🦟🌱

From egg to adult, our young scientists explored how insects grow, change, and play a role in our world. It was a day full of questions, discovery, and lots of “wow!” moments. 🐛🔬

Thank you, Mr. Kotze, for sparking a love of learning and showing that science is all around us! 💚
