Piper, one of our 5th grade leaders, read this announcement to help kick off Hispanic Heritage Month. Thanks Piper!!
Today is the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month. It’s a special time when we celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Hispanic Heritage Month happens every year from September 15th to October 15th.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll get to learn about the traditions, music, food, and stories shared by people of Hispanic and Latino heritage—both in our school and around the country.
We’re just getting started with the school year, and now—and always—is a great time to appreciate the different people and cultures that make our school such an amazing place.
Have a great day and a happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

What a fantastic first full week of school!
From day one, students dive right into learning while also building strong classroom routines and expectations. These early lessons include learning how to collaborate on projects and activities, setting the stage for a year of teamwork and success.
Community building is also at the heart of Franklin. Teachers work to deepen connections within their classrooms, while our Buddy Program pairs older and younger students to create friendships that extend beyond the classroom.
We are so proud of the energy and excitement already filling our school—here are some photos from this week!

Fifth graders are currently engaged in their Op Art Heart project. This project began after the students had the opportunity to learn about Op Art and several artists associated with the movement. For their artwork, students are combining a heart with an optical illusion. The goal is to create unique artwork, which also relates to the character Molly Lou Melon, who was unique and proud of herself. Molly Lou Melon is the main character in the picture book Stand Tall Molly Lou Mellon which all classrooms are reading as part of our character education launch to the school year.

Back To School Night is a wonderful time to get up to speed on what's going on in your child's class but it's also a nice time to see familiar faces after the long summer break. We also try to capitalize on the potential leadership opportunities for our 5th graders. Many of them volunteered to help as ambassadors for the evening--helping parents find classrooms. When they were done, and waiting for their parents, they played duck, duck goose to pass the time. Leadership can be fun!
