We had such a wonderful first week of school, and it felt so good to see our Falcons filling the building with energy and excitement again.
We truly missed the kids over the summer and are grateful to have them back. Thank you for sharing your greatest treasure with us—your children. We are looking forward to a year full of learning, growth, and fun!

FRANKLIN OPEN HOUSE ! 9/3 @6PM
We are excited to invite all Franklin families to our Open House next Wednesday at 6:00 PM!
The evening will begin in the gym, where I will welcome families and share our school’s mission and vision for the 2025–2026 academic year.
Afterward, families will have the chance to attend two classroom sessions (6:30 PM and 7:00 PM) to meet teachers, visit classrooms, and learn more about the “What, How, and Why” of your child’s learning.
Our specialists, support staff, and community partners will also be available to share valuable resources, and the Book Fair will be open in the gym for families to explore.
We hope you’ll join us for this important opportunity to connect, ask questions, and celebrate the wonderful work happening at Franklin!

✨ Ideas for decorating:
Stickers, photos, magazine cutouts
Draw or paint favorite things
