Foundation donates copies of Fleetwood book to Milton schools

Milton Community Foundation members Allen Benson and Steve Crawford recently stopped by Mariner Middle School to donate seven copies of the book “Tales of the Broadkill: Samson’s Saga.”

The book was written by Milton Community Foundation board member, author and Miltonian Charlie Fleetwood. Samson, a big old snapping turtle, tells a brief history of Milton and the Broadkill River in a way that all readers will enjoy. 

Benson, who substitute teaches in Milton schools, came up with the idea of donating multiple copies of the book to Mariner Middle, Milton Elementary and H. O. Brittingham Elementary schools to support their reading and language arts programs.

Part of the foundation’s mission is to sponsor educational, cultural and recreational activities.
