Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone is having a smooth transition to the 2016-2017 school year. I would like to offer my social work services and support to any families or students that may need my help as we begin a new school year. Please free to email me directly at johnstk@dearbornschools.org or call 313-827-7292.
There are a variety of volunteer opportunities for families and parents throughout the school year, including Blessings in a Backpack!
Blessings in a Backpack provides food for elementary school children across America who may otherwise have little or no food to eat on the weekends during the school year. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program. There are currently five Dearborn Public elementary schools participating in this program – including Whitmore-Bolles Elementary.
The program could not be successful without the help of volunteers. One great way to volunteer is to help us pack the backpacks! Below are the dates that we need families to volunteer in order to pack the bags after school. All packing occurs at 4:00 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church, located at Cherry Hill and Military.
