In honor of Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, we are proud to spotlight Gabe Kelley, a 12th-grade student enrolled in the Youth Development Program at the Saginaw Career Complex. Through hands-on learning and real-world experiences, students like Gabe are gaining valuable skills, earning credentials, and preparing for their future—all while still in high school.
Be on the lookout for CTE student billboards going up across our community later this month as we celebrate the opportunities available to students throughout Saginaw County. As you travel into St. Charles from Chesaning on M-52, watch for Gabe's smile in the sky!

The St. Charles Elementary 6th graders are learning about Africa in geography class and reading about the amazing William Kamkwamba, from Malawi, Africa.
William used bicycle parts, materials from the junkyard, and Gum trees to create a working turbine that produced electricity for his family. He then built additional wind turbines and a water pump that supplied drinking water to his village.
After discussing William's perseverance and ingenuity, the students were challenged with building their own working windmills from a bag of supplies today. They had to create a windmill and then use a fan to see if it worked. If it didn't work, the students had to brainstorm why and make some changes. The students worked hard, cooperated with one another, and demonstrated creativity and problem-solving skills.

Hello! My name is Pete Brissette, and I am excited to be the new fifth-grade teacher at St. Charles Elementary.
Over the past few years, I have worked as a substitute teacher in the district and have also enjoyed coaching youth football and baseball. While attending Saginaw Valley State University, I completed a full school-year student teaching in a fourth-grade classroom at St. Charles Elementary. It was an incredible experience, and I learned so much. I have since completed my studies and am thrilled to be returning to this school as a full-time teacher. Prior to beginning my second career in education, I spent over 20 years working in manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics management.
I grew up in Standish, Michigan, and graduated from Standish-Sterling Central High School. My wife and I enjoy spoiling our dog, Dany, who will be nine years old this summer. We also love spending time with our many nieces and nephews and cheering them on at their school activities. Outside of school, I enjoy playing golf and attending St. Charles Bulldogs athletic events. I am very grateful for this opportunity and proud to be a Bulldog!
