As #youth from across the state of #Michigan head back to school this week and next, our team at First Independence Bank is excited to support them and even join in on the fun! Today, we did just that at #FisherMagnetUpperAcademy's First Day of School Celebration! Our President, Dimitrius Hutcherson, joined parents, students, and organizations from across Detroit to welcome students to their first day of the school year! It was wonderful to see all of the positivity from the community and to get the students excited for the day! According to CBS News Detroit, throughout the event, students were given bookbags with free school supplies thanks to the Detroit Public Schools Community District Foundation and Ford Community East Center. We wish all students and families a wonderful start to the school year! Read more about this great event on the website of CBS Detroit, here: https://shorturl.at/PhJ8X
