Souper Bowl Food Drive
The Franklin School Student Council is hosting a SOUPER Bowl Food Drive. This is a competition between the grades to collect canned goods to help restock the food pantry. We ask that each student in our school try to bring in at least 2 cans to help. Our goal is to collect over 1000 cans! Student Council will come on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to collect the cans from each homeroom. We will be collecting canned goods until the end of February. Let’s see which grade can bring the most!
Building an Inclusive Community: "Merhaba from Turkey!"
In the name of spreading kindness, finding common ground, building community and celebrating our diversity, Tami Dinstein wanted everyone to learn how to say "Hello" in our various native languages. This week, Asaf and Atlas made an announcement over the loudspeaker and explained some facts about Turkey and told us that "Merhaba" means "Hello" and "Sen nasilsin?" means "how are you" in Turkish.
We are busy getting ready for Math Night! This year's theme is Old Mac Donald Had a Number Farm! Students get a passport as they travel around Franklin School and experience an array (pun intended) of math challenges!
