🍎 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.

🏆 Still Winning — On the Next Level

We’re proud to recognize Saginaw United alum Michael Baldwin (Class of 2025) for continuing his success on the mat at the collegiate level.

After making history last year by bringing home Saginaw United’s first-ever state championship, Michael is now making his mark as a freshman at West Virginia University.

Competing at the U20 U.S. Open Championships in Las Vegas, Michael earned a 4th place finish in Greco-Roman (77 kg)—an impressive accomplishment on the national stage. He was also the only wrestler from his team to place during the competition.

From Saginaw United to the national level, Michael continues to represent his school and community with excellence.

Congratulations, Michael—we’re proud of you! 👏
