Franklin County Local Projects
Each year we provide a Unit Scholarship to a Franklin County High School Graduate
We are currently planning projects for the upcoming year. We are always open to new ideas and new ways to support education in our community. We invite you, as a retired educator in the Franklin County area, to join us as we continue to support local education even as we have moved beyond the classrooms.
If you would like to join us, please click the link below to contact this group. We would love to have you with us.
Teachers bringing students to compete in the elementary Battle of the Books this year got a pleasant surprise when they were presented with 2 books to take back to each of their schools, donated by the FCRSP. This is an annual donation that we are happy to offer to our elementary schools, supporting our school libraries and enriching the lives of our students.
"Thank you so much for the books that you have donated to our library! Both are books we don't currently have. I know the kids will be excited for something new. We greatly appreciate your kindness.
Thank you!" Jennifer Lee, media assistant, Bunn Elementary School
NCRSP State Convention
On March 26-27, 2025 NCRSP members from all over the state met at the Durham Hilton (Duke University location) for our annual State Convention. Workshops included Mental Wellness for Seniors and Yoga for Seniors, along with presentations from Pierce Insurance, a Medicare update and and introduction to SHIIP. The Representative Assemblies was filled with basic business items as well as a number of speakers on various topics. A tribute to the late Dr. Willie T Ramey III, past NCRSP president was received warmly as his son talked about his father's legacy.
Another featured speaker was NEA-Retired Lead Lobbyist, Stephanie Salvador, who enlightened the membership on legislative matters and our organizations efforts to enhance and protect the rights and position of our members. The discussion, once moved to floor for questions and statements, became rather lively as the group became more deeply aware of the impacts and implications of the current political climate, both at the state and federal level.
Additionally, the focus was on the North Carolina Foundation for Public School Children, which has close ties to our organization. Fund raising efforts throughout the year, along with the silent and live auctions held at the convention, brought in a record amount, along with a might fun time as regions jockeyed with each other to raise the most money for the foundation. Our own Wake County local came in second in those fundraising efforts.
Thank you all for the hard work you have put in on behalf of the students, families and retirees of our state.
