Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0Please free to email me directly at johnstk@dearbornschools.org or call 313-827-7292.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities for families and parents throughout the school year, including Blessings in a Backpack<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n

Blessings in a Backpack<\/strong><\/em> 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.\u00a0 Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.\u00a0There are currently five\u00a0Dearborn Public elementary schools\u00a0participating\u00a0in this program – including Whitmore-Bolles Elementary.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 All packing occurs at 4:00 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church, located at Cherry Hill and Military.<\/span><\/p>\n

Packing the bags is a quick, easy activity and a great way to give back to your community. \u00a0If interested, please email me directly and I will add you to our volunteer list. \u00a0Thank you, in advance, for all your help and support with this project!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have a great evening,<\/div>\n
