The first day of school is a big day, and to help kick off the year with encouragement and connection, Jessica Yorch, our Student Support Coordinator at North Saginaw Charter Academy, made sure the staff felt celebrated. She created "The Core Café" with a special staff appreciation snack station, including apple-themed snacks and “apple affirmations.” Throughout the day, staff stopped by to grab a snack and take a moment to pause and recharge. The Core Café focuses on building strong relationships, celebrating teachers and staff, and deepening collaboration between CIS and the school team.

Thank you to the dedicated team at North Saginaw Charter Academy for fostering a supportive, collaborative environment for the whole school team.

Huge shoutout to Ms. Jackie & the Jolly Smiles Mobile Dental team!

Jolly Smiles Mobile Dental Services is a deeply valued CIS of Michigan partner. This is their fourth year collaborating with Student Support Coordinator Haïette M-M, Student Support Coordinator, CIS of Michigan.

Jolly Smiles provided top-notch, FREE dental care at Tri-County Educational Center, TCEC, for the second year, making sure health resources are accessible to every student. We can’t wait to welcome their team back later this semester.

At CIS of Michigan, supporting the whole child means putting health and wellness first. Thank you, Jolly Smiles, for your continued partnership and compassionate care you bring directly to our students. As Ms. Jackie says, it’s “always a jolly experience!

Our seventh and eighth grade young men officially kicked off the CIS of Michigan Young Male Scholar Initiative at Pontiac Middle School, led by Student Support Coordinator KD Sanders NSpire.

During the kick-off meeting, students engaged in thoughtful discussions about personal responsibility, showing incredible maturity as they began exploring how their choices shape their future.

With support from Principal Dr. Robinson, the administrative team, and CIS of Michigan, these young men meet monthly to set and track academic goals, build mutual accountability, and celebrate personal wins as a group.

We can’t wait to watch these scholars achieve their goals!

🏆 Who is the G.O.A.T. at Snow Elementary? Student Support Coordinator Hala Mallah kicked off a fantastic new tradition at Snow Elementary this year to celebrate the amazing school staff and spread positivity.

Each week, staff members nominate a colleague for being the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) trophy to a colleague each week. The nominee proudly displays the official G.O.A.T. trophy in their classroom or office for the week before passing it along to the next deserving teammate!

Thank you, Hala, for bringing so much positivity and fun into your school community!

📸 Shout-out to 2nd-grade teacher Ms. Lily Calmeyn, proudly showing off the G.O.A.T. trophy!

It’s National Principals Month, and we’re giving a massive shoutout to the amazing leaders we have the privilege of working with across Michigan. Behind every school is a dedicated leader working tirelessly to support students, staff, and families. They create safe, welcoming spaces where students can learn, grow, and thrive.
