Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch today!



Franklin families: Our elementary PTO is holding a fund drive during the weeks of October 16 - 27. Please see the information below for more information!
Hello!
Our PTO is kicking off a 2 week Donation Drive. We have a goal of collecting $20,000 during the weeks of October 16-27! It seems big but that will cover the PTO budget for about one year. If each child raises $30- that will help us meet our goal!
Your financial contribution during the Donation Drive will go directly into the PTO Budget. 100% of your support goes to those activities that enhance our children’s school experience and helping show gratitude to our teachers!
We Need Your Support! This year we are asking our schools’ families & friends for direct donations to fund our PTO annual budget. There was a pamphlet sent home in Thursday folders with more information as well as the information below. Feel free to share with friends and family!
We will keep our donation progress updated on Thursdays on the school social media pages. Thank you for helping to support our great schools!

Franklin Families: Our annual Harvest Hoedown is scheduled for Friday, October 27. This is a time for our students to celebrate their hard work through the first trimester of the school year and also spend the Pride Points they've collected. In order for the Harvest Hoedown to run smoothly, we're asking for some help from families.
* We need prize donations for the "carnival" booths. Small trinkets, small individually wrapped candy and gently used toys are all great ideas. Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree both have bags of assorted prizes that work great. Feel free to send them to school in a backpack or drop them off at the Franklin office before the 27th.
* We're looking for volunteers to help with the games and activities. There are 5 different times during the day and 3 classes will go at each time slot. We're hoping to get 20 volunteers for each of the time slots, along with some high school helpers. Please use the link below to sign up for a time if you're willing to volunteer. It's a fun time for our students and a good way to celebrate their hard work.
We'll send out more information about the harvest hoedown as it gets closer. Any help from families would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations to our students who received Kid of Character certificates at lunch today!



Franklin Families: Picture packets just arrived in the mail today and will be sent home in Thursday folders next week so there's less chance of them getting smashed into backpacks. ALL students will receive a packet. If you ordered pictures ahead of time, your pictures will be in the packet, along with an access code if you'd like to order more. If you did not order ahead of time, you'll receive your access code to view and order pictures online. Thanks for being patient with us through this process. Please contact the Franklin office if you have any questions.
4th grade families:
Reminder that tomorrow is the 4th grade field trip to Swede Point in Madrid for the outdoor classroom day. The weather looks like it'll be nice but it will be cool in the morning. Please make sure your 4th grader is dressed for a day of outdoor learning! The bus leaves first thing in the morning!
Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch on Friday! 💚❤️

Franklin Families,
Please see the attached document regarding expectations for Boone High School football games. As a reminder, elementary students are expected to sit with their families or a responsible adult during the game. Students should not be running around the track or under the bleachers for any reason and outside balls will not be allowed into the field. Thanks for helping us make the football game a positive experience for everyone involved and we hope to see lots of our community there to support our football team. Roll 'Dors!
