City teachers donate

For the eighth year in a row, the Van Wert Federation of Teachers donated $1,250 to both the Brumback Summer Reading Program (below) and the YWCA Youth Enrichment Program, which includes the After School and Summer Food programs (above, in front of the library).Through their annual end-of-year fundraiser, Van Wert City School employees are encouraged to donate to the fundraiser in exchange for the opportunity to “dress casual” the last week of school. “The very nature of school teachers is to pour their resources into our children, and, by collecting pocket change for one week, we are able to promote our community and children of Van Wert,” said VWFT President Jeff Hood. “Our people have really done a great job of that.” VWFT photos
