Recess is a great time to connect with friends and meet new people. Students have fun doing lots of things. 4-square is very popular with the older kids, as is Gaga. Football always has a crowd--in multiple locations. Lots of students play on the playground. Today, one group told me they were playing "imaginary school." Others were hanging out under the trees on this beautiful day!
The Week of Respect!
What a beautiful fall day at Franklin! Students were wearing their grade level t-shirts or Westfield gear to show their community spirit. Food Days also started today so our 4th and 5th grade leaders, "Food Helpers", were delivering lunch to classrooms and the cafeteria.
More photos from the first month!
We are fostering a sense of community and belonging. We want everyone to feel like there is a special place for them in our Franklin community. We started with reading the book, The Big Umbrella. Mrs. Davenport created umbrellas and students wrote kind and inclusive messages. Today, we read the book Strictly No Elephants at our assembly to promote our theme, I Belong, You Belong, We Belong. Next week is the Week of Respect. We've included pictures from September. It's been an amazing first month of school. Thank you to everyone for helping us launch the year!
Reminder: Schools will be closed on Monday, September 25.

The Westfield Human Relations Advisory Commission provided buckets of chalk to help inspire kind words all around Franklin School. Having adults in Westfield take the time to support kindness efforts at our school set a great example for our students. Current local leader, Mayor Brindle, was also on and and she met the founders of our Kindness Club (future leaders) pictured below with one of their club's sponsors Mrs. Romano.
