RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: DTE Energy donates Blessings in a Backpack!

Starting this week at Randall Elementary School, pupils will once again be able to receive a backpack full of goodies each week.

The backpacks were donated by DTE Energy and teacher, staff and children at the school want to send a big "thank you" back to the company for its efforts.

The backpacks will be filled with a variety of ready-to-eat food and easy-to-fix meals as part of the program, Blessings with a Backpack.

For every week the pupils being the backpack back into the school, they will be replenished for the following weekend. All children who qualify for free and reduced lunch were given permission slips to receive these donations.

Parents are reminded to return the permission slips in a timely manner.
