Promise Zone -
A Ray of Hope
We have all heard that the American education
system is the great equalizer. All children in
Michigan are guaranteed, by the Constitution, a
free public K-12 education without discrimination
as to religion, creed, race, color, or national origin.
Well, what happens after high school? Where is
the great equalizer?
Those who are interested in going on to higher
education have to receive scholarships, secure
loans or work their way through college to pay for
it. Many students are left with thousands of dollars
worth of debt upon completion, working for
decades trying to pay off loans. For Saginaw
Public School graduates this scenario may change
in the near future.
The Michigan Promise Zone Authority Act,
created by the state legislature and signed into law by
Governor Jennifer Granholm in early 2009, is
designed to serve as a catalyst for economic
development and to support local efforts to promise a
college education for all students who reside within
the boundaries of the Promise Zone school district.
In April 2009, Governor Granholm announced
Saginaw as one of ten locations whose Promise
Zones application was accepted. Over 125
communities were eligible to become Promise Zones.
The Promise Zone concept is an opportunity to
ensure that families of students who reside in the
ten Promise Zone communities, in Governor
Granholm’s words, “have access to an affordable,
first-class education beyond high school. The best
paying jobs in the 21 st century will require a high
level of education and training. Each of these
communities is interested in giving students access
to education after high school that will allow them
to compete for those jobs.” Governor Granholm
said the Promise Zones help Michigan achieve its
“two most important goals: diversifying our
economy and doubling the number of college
graduates in our state.” She calls this a “powerful
new tool” for communities to take charge of their
economic futures.
The Promise Zone will impact the education of
SPS students, and also have a positive effect on
the entire community. “The promise of a college
education for all has the power to transform
communities across our state, replacing poverty
and despair with opportunity and hope,” says Lt.
Governor John Cherry, who chaired the
Commission on Higher Education and Economic
Growth. “In addition to higher educational
attainment levels, Promise Zones can spur
investment, economic development and home
ownership.”
Promise Zone Authority Board ready for the challenge ahead.
An 11- member Authority Board will govern
the Promise Zone initiative. One of the primary
responsibilities for the Authority Board is the
preparation of a Promise Zone Development Plan,
which must include a fund-raising campaign and a
sustainability plan. The Authority also will set the
eligibility criteria, establish the first year for the
scholarships to be awarded, and oversee the entire
effort.
During a December Board of Education
meeting, despite tough economic times, eleven
individuals accepted the task of finding a way to
provide a college education to Saginaw Public
Schools graduates. Dr. Thomas Barris,
Superintendent of Saginaw Public Schools, stated,
“When it comes to education and good news,
Michigan has not had a lot of it lately. We have
had cuts in educational funding, the loss of the
Promise Scholarship and more potential cuts down
the road. Tonight, there is a ray of hope for
education and the community. Eleven individuals
have accepted the monumental challenge of finding
a way to provide a college education to Saginaw
Public Schools’ graduates by becoming the
Saginaw Promise Zone Authority Board.”
The eleven individuals who comprise the
Saginaw Promise Zone Authority Board are an
independent body that will govern all aspects of the
Promise Zone. Nine of the Authority Board
members were appointed by Superintendent Dr.
Thomas N. Barris, and approved during a
December Board of Education meeting. Two
members are legislative appointments as specified
by the law.
A sizeable amount of money will be required to
fund the Promise Zone effort in perpetuity. There
is no timetable included in the legislation but the
intent is to move as quickly as possible.

Superintendent’s Holiday Message
Dear Parents, Community Members and Staff,
The holiday season is a time for family, friends,
celebration and remembrance of another year
passed.
I want to celebrate our teachers, parents, and
students for their commitment to educational
excellence. Eighteen of twenty-one buildings
successfully made Adequate Yearly Progress
(AYP) this year. Our dedicated professionals are
truly devoted to the success of each and every one
of our students.
I want to celebrate this community for its
continued support of our schools. We are in the
third phase of the district’s $70 million school
renovation bond that voters approved in August
2004. Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy will
have a gymnasium and remodeled auditorium with
estimated completion in May. The District
continues to partner with community organizations
and businesses to benefit our students and
educational programs.
Together we can make a difference in our
community and in the lives of our children. Our
greatest treasure and brightest hope for the future
is our children, so their education is of the utmost
importance.
SASA students (left) Portia Brown, and (right) Sydney Veverka,
along with Dr. Barris, proudly display the Superintendent’s
holiday card. A special thank you to Portia for writing the
holiday verse, and Sydney for her artwork.
The winning holiday verse written by Portia
Brown and included in the Superintendent’s holiday
card says:
“May you walk
in joy and harmony
with your family and loved ones
and be reminded of
your many blessings and good fortune
this holiday season.”

Support Our Future
Saginaw Public Schools hosted a House K-12
Appropriations Subcommittee School Aid hearing in
December at Handley Elementary School. The
meeting provided an opportunity to underscore the
funding problems in K-12 and its impact on schools
and students. Several individuals were invited to
speak on the impact on funding or lack of funding
and the impact on K-12 schools. About 75 people
gathered at Handley Elementary School for the
first of three hearings held by the House
Appropriations Subcommittee on K-12 School Aid
and Education.
Brian Jones, Executive Director of Finance,
made the following comments:
“Academic achievement improves when
students have access to challenging courses, skilled
teachers, safe facilities, small class sizes, up-todate
technology, libraries, and science labs.
Best education comes from a stable system.
Current funding challenges and cycles serve to
destabilize the system. The state mandates that
Michigan Districts adopt a balanced budget prior to
June 30, districts
build a budget with
“X” # of staff based
on “Y” # of
pupils…without
knowing with
certainty what
revenue will be.
The state does not
finalize their budget
until October. The
disconnect is
unsettling.
When revenue
is reduced mid year,
it causes an
extensive challenge
for providing full
academic options….eroding the trust of students,
parents, staff and the community. When half the
year is gone districts have to cut twice as deep in
order to realize a given dollar amount of savings.
Mid year reductions force us to layoff and/or
redeploy staff, which contributes to academic
disruption. The combination of student movement
and staffing adjustments contribute significantly to
system destabilization.
Our challenge is to keep cuts as far away from
the classroom as possible, therefore we are
considering non “load-bearing” positions, which are

still absolutely vital to urban school districts.
Higher graduation requirements and academic
standards continue to be mandated. Saginaw
Public Schools agree with these standards, but feel
these mandates should be supported with financial
capital.
Legislature expects increased performance
with decreased financial resources.”
Mr. Jones closed his remarks by requesting a
permanent, equitable, stable and consistent solution
to school funding. He also urged the committee to
strongly consider the
ramifications for our
children, our
community and our
State as we continue
on this trend of
cutting funding for
public education.
Representatives
strongly encouraged
the public to speak
up more about
school funding. The
issue is not just for
those with children,
it’s a community
wide issue. If you

your opinion on how K-12 Education should be
funded, please contact House K-12 Appropriations

SAGINAW PUBLIC SCHOOLS - WINTER ISSUE 3
Take a Walk with Us
The Michigan Department of Transportation
(MDOT) hosted a Safe Routes to School (SR2S)
event for third grade students from Kempton,
Stone, Herig, and Jerome Elementary Schools in
Saginaw. The “back to school” event took place on
the field at Arthur Hill High
School, on Thursday,
September. 24.
The event was
sponsored by the Dow
Chemical Company (Dow),
Accenture (a global
management consulting
company), Consumers
Energy, Spicer Group, and
the East Michigan Council
of Governments. MDOT
and its event sponsors
hosted the event in
partnership with a host of
area organizations,
including: the Saginaw Community Foundation,
County of Saginaw, City of Saginaw, St. Mary’s
Medical Center, Field Neurosciences Institute of
Saginaw, YMCA of Saginaw, and the Michigan
Department of Community Health (Safe Kids
Michigan).
“Our focus is to improve pedestrian safety,
while encouraging walking and biking to school,”
said MDOT Assistant Planner Jay Reithel – the
event planner. “When routes are safe, walking and
biking to and from school is an easy way to get the
regular physical activity children need for good
health.”
MDOT hoped to inspire parent confidence
through the SR2S program. The event highlighted
and offered solutions for issues that create barriers
to students walking and biking to school.
Presentations included the following:
Pedestrian Safety, Safe Kids Michigan. Members
of the Saginaw Valley Traffic Safety Committee
informed students about pedestrian signals, signs
and crosswalks, along with other traffic safety
issues. Encountering Stray
Animals, presented by the
Saginaw County Animal
Care Center, taught
students what to do when
encountering stray animals
on their way to school.
Dealing with Downed
Electrical Wires, a
Consumers Energy-led
discussion, focused on
what students should do.
Stranger Danger, led by
local law enforcement
personnel, trained students
how to handle encounters with strangers on their
walk to school. Walk-able Saginaw featured a
display of city of Saginaw attractions within
walking distance of local schools. Physical
Fitness and Recreation provided interactive
activities led by the YMCA of Saginaw. Fire
Safety provided a simulated “safe house”
experience for students, led by city of Saginaw
fire-fighters. Bicycle Safety, which included a
bicycle helmet giveaway, was presented by the
East Michigan Council of Governments, St.
Mary’s Medical Center, Field Neurosciences
Institute of Saginaw, Saginaw County 911 and
Saginaw County First Responders.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to have
Accenture and Dow volunteers come together to
contribute to the readiness and safety of local
students as they prepare to return to school,” said
David Dupre, vice president and site leader of
Dow’s Michigan Operations. “We hope the lessons
learned during this event will become everyday
habits for the students involved.”
SR2S is an international movement – and now
a federal program – to make it safe, convenient
and fun for children to bicycle and walk to school.
SR2S initiatives also help ease traffic jams, air
pollution and unite neighborhoods.
Partners Support Rouse Students
In education, when it comes to supporting
students, it is more than just reading, writing,
and arithmetic. Forming partnerships in the
community allows for a larger safety net in
supporting additional student needs. Jessie
Rouse Elementary recently had visits from
two such partners. With the help of Health
Delivery, students are provided with dental
service with “Smiles Are Everywhere,” a
school based dental program. One of
the two mobile dental units utilizes
portable equipment to provide exams,
x-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments,
and sealants to elementary school
students that may not otherwise
receive the care. The mobile unit
makes several visits during the course
of the school year. Parents must sign
consent forms before students can
receive services.
When representatives from Molina
Healthcare called Monica Woods of
Health Delivery and inquired what
school could benefit from socks, hats
and gloves donations, Ms. Woods

suggested Jessie Rouse. During a combined visit in
November, Health Delivery provided dental
services, and Denise Hughes, representative of
Molina Healthcare presented over 150 sets of
gloves, socks and hats to students at Jessie Rouse.
Another example of how working together as a
community we can make a difference in the lives
of our community’s children.
Rouse students are all smiles about the winter-wear donation from
Molina Healthcare.

HEALTHY &
FLU-FREE
With flu season upon us,
it is important that we work together to keep our
children healthy. Viruses spread easily among
children in schools, and families with school-age
children have more infections than others, with
an average of one-third of these family
members infected each year. By keeping our
children flu-free, the community benefits as a
whole. You can help prevent the spread of flu or
help your child get better if he/she does get sick
by following a few simple steps:
• If possible, you and your child should get a flu
shot
• Remind your child to cover his/her nose and
mouth with a tissue when sneezing or coughing
and dispose of the tissue immediately
• Have your child wash his/her hands frequently
with soap and warm water for at least 20
seconds
• Disinfect frequently-touched surfaces and
shared items at least once a day
• Ensure that bathrooms are stocked with soap,
hand towels and tissues
• Teach your child not to touch his/her mouth,
nose and eyes
• If your child is sick and has a fever, keep him/
her at home to prevent the spread of illness to
others
If you are concerned about your child’s flu
symptoms, call your doctor early. Call your
doctor immediately if your child has a chronic
disease.
If you have any questions or would like
additional information about preventing and
treating the flu, please contact Saginaw Public
Schools’ school nurse, Kimberly Newman at
Parent Resources Center (989) 399-6900

had the recent opportunity to participate in
Consumers Energy new high school co-op program
aimed at providing valuable workplace skills,
mentoring and paid job opportunities.
Known as OPTIONS, the program provides
students exposure to the company and energy

the first year the program was offered in Saginaw.
Participants work an eight-week internship and
interact with employees who either supervise or
mentor them. The students will return next
summer provided they maintain their grade point
average and participate in activities during the
school year. The summer program ended August 6
and was highlighted with a presentation by the
students about their experiences to their parents,

Saginaw High Has Heart
Earlier this year hundreds gathered to see the
yearly anticipated match up between the Saginaw
High School and Heritage High School Varsity
Football teams. However, this year was a little
different. Rather than gold and black on one side
of the field facing the green and blue from the
other, they planned a Red Out. The game had a
special theme in honor of Dorian Dawkins.
Students, staff and community honored and
remembered his life while helping to fight heart
disease, the very thing that took him from us.
Teams, students and community were asked to
wear red to school, to work and to the game in
honor of Dorian Dawkins and the American Heart
Association.
Dorian Dawkins, son of Saginaw High varsity
basketball coach Lou
Dawkins and Latricia
Dawkins, principal of
Loomis Math, Science
and Technology
Academy, died of acute
myocardial ischemia,
secondary to an
anomalous left coronary
artery on June 13, 2009 at
the age of 14. Many were in disbelief this summer
when news spread that he collapsed at the freethrow
line during a game at basketball camp at
Michigan State University. One way that Dorian’s
parents and siblings have chosen to remember
Dorian is to help to fight heart disease and support
the American Heart Association in hopes that one
day we can live free of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease kills more people in the
US than the next 5 leading causes of death
combined… including cancer. The Red Out was a
great way to celebrate Dorian’s life while making a
difference by helping to save others. In addition to
asking the community to wear red, there were
opportunities to donate during “calls to action”
during the quarters and half time when
cheerleaders came into the stands with donation
buckets. All proceeds went to the American Heart
Association.
In addition to the Red Out there will be another
great opportunity the weekend of February 5-7,
2010. The First Annual Dorian Dawkins Show
Your Heart Memorial Classic will be held at Delta
College. This is a labor of love by Dorian’s brother
Christian that will kick off Friday night with a
performance by comedian D.L. Hughley, (Original
Kings of Comedy, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip).
Noted actor Morris Chestnut will be the guest
announcer for the premier high school basketball
team competitions on Saturday and Sunday. Other
special guest appearances will take place during
this weekend event. Save the date to celebrate the
life of Dorian Dawkins with an action packed
weekend of entertainment, talent and competition.
Proceeds will go towards scholarships for Saginaw
students and the American Heart Association. For
more information on the classic go to the Live Out
Your Dreams website at www.loydenterprises.
Dow Corning Foundation
sponsors local high school
students at fifth annual
Virginia Hispanic
Youth Symposium
Seven Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy
Hispanic high school students took part in the fifth
annual Virginia Hispanic Youth Symposium, a fourday,
three-night college access program hosted by
the Hispanic College Fund at George Mason
University in Fairfax, Virginia. The Dow Corning
Foundation sponsored all seven students, providing
airfare, lodging and registration for the symposium.
The Foundation was also a major corporate funder
for the Hispanic College Fund event.
Birth–Five Program Relocated
Birth-Five
program was
relocated to 224
N. Elm Street
at the beginning
of the school
year. The
entrance is in
the back of Handley Elementary
School. The Saginaw Public
School’s Birth-Five Program is a
service offered to all families in
the district. Birth-Five works
with families from birth to get
their children ready to start
school.
Getting ready for Kindergarten does begin at
birth. A Family Assessment Worker goes into the
hospital the day after a baby is born to introduce
the Birth-Five Program. The family is given a
packet of information and is told that they will be
contacted in two weeks. When the family is
contacted, the Family Assessment Worker makes
a home visit to enroll the family. The family is
then assigned a permanent Parent Educator.
The Parent Educator visits each family
regularly. They work with the family on every
thing from diaper rash care to reading to
the baby to nutrition to sleep habits.
They help keep families informed on
developmental milestones, so parents
know when something should be
happening (walking, talking, etc.)
Parent
Educators assist
families
in enrolling in
Play to Learn
Group, Family
Meeting, as well
as preschool and
Kindergarten.

“The Dow Corning Foundation is proud to
have sponsored these nine outstanding students
from the Saginaw area,” said Kimberly Houston-
Philpot, President, Dow Corning Foundation. “It is
our hope that these students take the lessons
learned at the symposium and realize that they too
can achieve a college education, pursue a
professional career, and invest in our community as
volunteers and leaders.”
Over 200 Hispanic students from across the
country gathered for the event. Student attendees,
who were selected from a competitive admissions
pool of nearly 400 applicants, focused on learning
strategies for success related to college, career,
and community service through a number of
workshops and mentorship opportunities.
In addition to the workshops, student attendees
had the opportunity to hear success stories first
hand from business leaders and public figures
including: Fern Barrueta, CEO of the Hispanic
College Fund; Douglas Garcia, Assistant Secretary
of Education, Office of the Governor, Virginia; and
Monica Villalta, Director of Diversity Programs,
Kaiser Permanente.
A need met...lives changed
When students started school at Coulter
Elementary School in September they all received
backpacks filled with rulers, pencils, crayons and
other school supplies that signaled the start of a
new partnership with Hopevale Church.
Pastor Ken
MacGillivray, Director
of Children’s Ministries,
Mary Kay Dyer and
other members of the
congregation where on
hand to kickoff the first
day of school during a
morning assembly.
Superintendent of
Schools, Dr. Barris
thanked the members
of Hopevale Church for
their outreach and expressed the desire to continue
the partnership throughout the school year.
“We have adopted the school and we will
continue to assist them as much as we can,”
MacGillivray said. During the assembly Pastor
MacGillivray told students, “We are excited about
what is happening at Coulter Elementary.” We
care about you as students. We want you to be
excited to go to school and have the tools you need
to do great things. Use your brains to the most of
its potential.”
The parents, students and staff were extremely
thankful for Hopevale’s generosity but it did not
stop in September. Hopevale Church continues to
provide support for
Coulter Elementary. In
November , Hopevale
church donated 100
coats to Coulter
Elementary students
and enough food to
feed several families
during the holidays.
Lanishia Spiller,
principal of Coulter
Elementary, said she is
delighted with the
assistance. “Small groups of people can make a
huge difference,” Spiller said.
If you are interested in adopting a school
please call the Information Services Department at
399-6630.

Arthur Eddy
Nationally Recognized
Micro Society school puts learning theory
into practice throughout the school and school
day. Incorporating real-world experiences into
basic curriculum helps students apply what they
learn in the classroom to real life and helps
teachers and principals shed the “stand and
deliver” daily routine. By making learning
relevant, kids not only want to be in school, they
want to succeed. Arthur Eddy students and staff
received the National George Award for
successful implementation and coordination of
the Micro Society program
Rouse Marches with
Pride

Ready Set Lego!
The Delta College Technical, Trades, and
Manufacturing Division along with Nexteer
(formerly Delphi Steering) hosted a Lego League
robotics competition on Saturday, November 21 in
the Pioneer gym. The competition entitled “Ready
Set Lego” featured approximately 300 area
students demonstrating their robotic programming
and problem solving skills. Loomis Lego Robotics
Team placed 19 out of 40, which is excellent for
the 3rd-5th graders, who were some of the
youngest participants in the competition.
Food from the Heart
Coulter Elementary now has a food pantry
available for families in need. The food pantry
opened in October. Each month Coulter receives
140 cases of food (pancake mix, cereal, canned
fruit/veggies, taco seasoning, snack bars, syrup,
peanut butter/jelly, etc) donated by the Food Bank
of Michigan. Parents have signed up to receive a
box each month. To qualify, parents must have a
child enrolled at Coulter. The amount each family
receives is based on the number of family
members. Parents pick up their boxes on the
Friday after the first Tuesday of each month.
Currently, Coulter is able to help 50 families per
month. The goal is to provide up to 100 families
with food. Coulter has student volunteers from the
Millet Center sort and pack boxes. Saginaw High
School Student Council assists in packaging and
distributing boxes on Friday.
Thompson Middle School students started the
school year with a message from President
Obama. During a school wide assembly,
students heard a message of hope, resiliency, and
the importance of education. President Obama
shared with students his life struggles and how,
despite a lack of resources, education was his
source of empowerment. Education allowed him
to accomplish so much in his life that he
otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity to
do. Many students commented on how the
message inspired them to do better in school and
helped them understand that they are responsible
for their own future.
President Speaks to Young People
❝I now truly understand
the importance of a good
education, I can’t
accomplish anything with
out it.❞
❝Keep moving forward
and don’t let anything
hold you back.❞
