Toys collected by STAND members will bring much-needed cheer to youngsters spending Christmas at Children's Hospital of Michigan.
Young people who are spending their holiday in a place that does not denote holiday celebration—the hospital—are getting some support from their healthier counterparts attending two Dearborn Schools.

Hard hats replaced young people as a common site at Dearborn's Woodworth Middle School this summer. Over the summer, workers removed three massive boilers from the 83-year-old building to make room for the same number of more-efficient replacements. The removal of the boilers is among $14 million in summer repairs and upgrades at several of district’s 31 schools. The projects include roof replacements, parking lot repaving, heating and cooling repairs, window replacement and carpet and flooring changes.
