We'd love for you to join us on October 11th at 6:45 p.m. to learn about the new reading curriculum that is being implemented at Franklin and Randall this year. We are excited to have an instructional coach from both Randall and Franklin who will be presenting and answering any questions we may have. The meeting will also include PTO and principal updates.

We would like to offer pizza and child care for this meeting, so you can attend and not worry about dinner or finding someone to watch your children. Please help us plan by filling out the following form: FORM LINK HERE

Franklin Cafe - Providing Wednesday Snacks
Please consider providing a snack for the Franklin staff space also known as "Franklin Cafe."

Our teachers and staff work hard to make Franklin a great community and this is one way to show our support! Staff snacks can be dropped off on Wednesdays at the Franklin office in the morning or during morning drop-off.

Examples would be apples, pears, grapes, tangerines, bagels, cheese and crackers, veggies and hummus, muffins, cookies, or doughnuts. Anything you think your teacher would enjoy.
