Jan made herself available to help our district deal with the devastating death of a student. Her presence was comforting, not only to the students dealing with loss, but also to staff and administrators. She is such a supportive and caring professional; she made the day more bearable for everyone.

Parking Lot
Kathy unselfishly helped clear snow from employee's car and waited until all employees were able to leave the building during our snow storm. That's special!

Julie went over and above during a snowstorm cleaning cars before we went home and putting everyone's safety first! She is a very caring person.

Tuesday, March 1, saw about a foot of snow fall across Saginaw County. Even thought the offices closed early, it took individuals a great deal of time to travel home. Mark Quaderer took time to check in with me to make certain I made it home. I appreciate his care and concern for his fellow SISD team members.

SISD RESC Building
On March 1, a nonstudent school day due to impending winter weather, the RESC offices closed at about 3:00. Do you know that Kim and one of her coworkers were at the office until about 4:30 ensuring that those districts that had payroll scheduled that week would have their employees paid on time? Kim is very conscientious and made certain that all tasks were completed prior to leaving. As she and her coworker dedicated their focus on completing the task in their windowless office, two to three additional inches of snow fell during the afternoon. She wasn't at phased by the conditions outside and even took time to contact a few coworkers to make certain that they made it home safely.

Dolores Kellett goes above and beyond often in her service to SISD. On March 1, she stayed much later after the office was dismissed early due to weather conditions to ensure that all payroll tasks that needed completion by the end of the day were completed and submitted. Once she was in her car ready to go, she waited to see if one of her coworkers could make it out of the RESC parking lot. When the coworker was not able to make it through the parking lot, Dolores took the person home. I appreciate Dolores's care and concern for her team members.

School was closed due to snow. Kathy stopped by and ended up staying to help clean vans off...and boy there was A LOT of snow!

Kelly went above and beyond her job duties by creating a "cheat sheet" or a helpful email to her colleagues outlining what topics for file audits can be found where and how in Child Plus. She is new this year to our program and is always going above and beyond in her work as well as with her co-workers. If she discovers an easier way in doing paperwork, Kelly will share with her colleagues.

Needed Head Start info for family in Freeland. No sooner had I requested that I got it. Family was please due to not having many spots available. Not only did I get the info, but Roseann was so pleasant to talk too. Thanks Roseann.

Vickie has gone out of her way to assist students with disabilities in the Swan Valley School District! She has been an integral part of the behavior planning process with several students experiencing behavioral difficulties. She has even given up time after work to attend counseling sessions with students and families to ensure the school/home connections works together to ensure success for our students! Thanks Vickie!

Ms. Hope went over to clean the building for an employee who was out and she moved furniture, and cleaned the supply room and left extra supplies for teachers in case the employee did not come in the next day and she went over the next day to make sure the staff had everything they needed.

Pat has been offering SISD fitness classes that are open to anyone at a low cost. I feel he goes above and beyond by offering his time and expertise to ISD employees. I think this is a great program that benefits the health of employees, and I hope the group grows and gains more support.

Steph has worked very hard over the past 2 weeks and has gone above and beyond to get our students prepared for the Job Fair that took place today. Not only did she take extra time to make sure their resumes were up-to-date, but also worked with the students individually to get ready for interviews. Steph is a definite asset to the program and is dedicated to helping the students achieve their work goals. Thank you!

The Great Start to Quality Resource Center work has expanded by leaps and bounds this year, both by quantity and quality. Staff is growing, the staff is meeting and exceeding metrics set by the Early Childhood Investment Corporation, and our staff is receiving recognition across the state as known leaders in the field. Julie has valued and honored her staff with support at all levels, advocacy, and tireless development of the Great Start to Quality Program.

Bertha is a sub for Millet and although she is 73 years young she doesn't let anything stop her. She is always here early and stays late. She does anything and everything with a smile on her face. We were lucky to have her as sub in our class for several months.

The scent of chili cooking was wafting through the office and I had to be at a STEM Network meeting during the lunch hour. While I was at the meeting I received a kind e-mail that the chili was going fast. Pam took time to dish up a savory bowl and hide it in the refrigerator for me to enjoy later on in the afternoon. I appreciate Pam for thinking of me and making certain that I had lunch.

Viv has the courage of a lion. She is a champion for children and researches every nook and cranny across the county and beyond to ensure that students are receiving the educational Saginaw City - Hamilton services they deserve. Street Her dynamic energy and passion for her position creates respect in the community. She puts her safety on the line in some situations. I applaud Viv for her courage and commitment.

Jim and Mark did an outstanding job working with Skyward support to recover from three corrupt databases on our Skyward servers while I was on vacation. They worked closely with support, kept users informed, and also let me know what was happening. It is great to have team members like Jim and Mark.

Extra power and manual wheelchairs had been dropped off after school for wheelchair basketball. After signing for the chairs I had the task of bringing them into the building and taking them to OT. Sara Judd observed my struggle and immediately jumped in to save the day. Without her help the task would have taken an extreme amount of time. Sara is a true team player!

Carol has been part of the ISD team for only a short time but took on the daunting task of going through all of the boxes, totes, bags, filing cabinets, etc. that is in the "Buena Vista" storage room. She organized and labeled everything to make it easier for the other departments to come in and go through their pertinent files. She did it all with a great drive, positive attitude and a smile.
