Dearborn Public Schools is providing free meals for students to take home for Iftar, the break fast meal during the month of Ramadan. Many Dearborn students are Muslim and will abstain from eating and drinking until sunset, missing school lunch. Food service director Emi Kreste said that the district has wanted to provide Ramadan accommodations for years, but that it wasn't possible until now.
Plus, the Detroit Parks Coalition and the Detroit Public Library are partnering for an inaugural Bookmark Design Contest.
