WARREN — Fitzgerald Public Schools is getting a boost for two of its programs through grant money the district recently received.

On Nov. 11, it was announced the district received a $2,500 grant from the Detroit Lions Foundation to support its Fitzgerald High School girls flag football team, and a $48,000 grant from the Margaret Dunning Foundation to support the high school’s auto technology program.
