This provides scholarship opportunities and combats educational deficiencies of Metro Detroit youth. The Detroit Health Department is offering free vision and hearing screenings for children attending public, private and charter schools in grades K-12. The screenings will be at various times in schools in Detroit. Businesses listed in the register often do business with each other, making it an invaluable networking tool and reference guide, Regenia Simmons, director of the department said. Entrants must be city residents.
Winners receive prizes.
Photographs of the top gardens will be displayed at the DTE Energy Detroit International Bloomfest 2001 next spring.
