Dearborn Federation of Teachers 

To Donate 400 Books To Students

 

– William Ford Elementary and Woodworth Middle School will receive 200 free books from the Dearborn Federation of Teachers.  

 

As part of the Dearborn Federation of Teachers (DFT) ongoing effort to provide “a free book for every student in Dearborn”, they will be distributing 200 books each to William Ford Elementary, 14749 Alber, Dbn. 48126 and Woodworth Middle School, 4951Ternes, Dbn., 48126 on Wednesday, March 25, 2015. The first stop will be Woodworth Middle School at 8:15 am and then will move on to William Ford Elementary.  The winning buildings were drawn from names submitted at DFT’s general membership meetings held in January and February. A stipulation is made that the books must be given to students to keep as their own, and not kept in the classroom.

 

“Through our ongoing partnership with FirstBook, we are excited to get these books into the hands of our students” saidDFT President Chris Sipperley, “these high-quality books are always a favorite of our students”.

 

To date, the DFT has distributed over 4,000 books to Dearborn Students.  Additionally, many teachers in the district have also used FirstBook to provide books for their students.
