More Teachers' Treasures! Lunch and cookie decorating and an after-school "tea" in the Habitat Garden (and bird house decorating)!
Franklin's Project Playground, in partnership with the Franklin PTO, has been planning for playground upgrades that will enhance accessibility for all students. This is a true community effort. The Westfield Foundation has now generously contributed a $20,000 grant to help get us closer to our goals!
Our annual 5th Grade Party kicked off with a giant color run! As always, sponsored by our PTO!!
Teacher Treasures are a great way for students and teachers to have fun outside of the regular school day. These are supported by our PTO during our annual Franklin Bash fundraiser! Mini golf with the principal, lunch with your teacher at Northside, slime making sessions, cookie decorating and kickball are just some of the activities!
Is Mr. Geyer starting a rock band? No, but we now have a whole class set of ukuleles that students are learning to play!
Shark Tank in Mr. Pask's third grade- students presented their ideas, answered questions, and accepted best offers. Good job sharks!
Franklins v. Benjamins- the competition is ready for tonight's volleyball game at WHS!
A Franklin tradition returns! Our staff volleyball game is getting a restart and it's bigger and better than ever! The staff has been split into two teams, the Franklins and the Benjamins, and they will play to a sold out crowd at WHS! This year's students, parents and families will also get into the fun! There are prizes and contests during the event as well!! Our pep rally really got the kids excited! See you Monday night!
Principal Jake (principal for a day) oversaw daily announcements, supervised classrooms (with adult supervision) and helped run the volleyball pep rally! Nice work Jake!
Welcome Assistant Principal for the day! Sophie has had a busy day making announcements, welcoming families to a writing celebration, supervising lunch, and introducing the fourth grade assembly!
