Franklin Elementary School

Hannah made this announcement today in honor of Veterans Day. Veterans Day is a special holiday celebrated every year on November 11. Veterans Day began in 1919, after World War I to honor all the brave men and women who have served in our military. Our military includes the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Space Force. These heroes protect our freedom and keep our country safe. If you know a veteran, be sure to thank them today. Happy Veterans Day! We have various slide shows and books to share with students to help educate them about military service. Franklin is also participating in Cards for Troops. Students are making cards that will be sent to troops thanking them for their service.

Anne is a frequent contributor to our morning announcements. Here she is announcing this month's character trait.

Happy November! It is time to announce our monthly character trait. The November Character Trait is Gratitude, which means choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives.
Showing gratitude can be as simple as saying thank you to someone who helps you, writing a note to a teacher, or telling a friend you’re glad to have them. You can also show gratitude by taking care of the things you use every day like cleaning up your desk or returning library books on time.
This month, let’s all practice finding moments to be thankful and notice how it makes our school an even happier place to be!
Have a great day, everyone!
