Congratulations to our students who received Kid of Character certificates at lunch today! Big thanks to Mr. C for covering during 4th grade lunch!



Mr. Doty’s class had some visitors this morning! The class recently read an article about celebrations in other countries. Some of our amazing Franklin parents/grandparents stopped by to teach the class about a traditional Puerto Rican celebration and they brought some traditional foods for them to sample!



We're so excited to welcome our students back today! It's a great day to have a great day!
Wishing all of our Franklin families a happy New Year! Thanks for a great 2022! We’re looking forward to another awesome year in 2023!

Big thanks to a couple of our Franklin families for providing snacks for our staff this week! LuAnn Elsberry & the Cox family - thanks for thinking of us! 😊
Congratulations to our students who received the last Kid of Character certificates of 2022!

Franklin Families: Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be pajama day at Franklin. It was originally scheduled for Thursday but due to the potential of inclement weather, we decided to move it up a day. At this time, we ARE scheduled to have school on Thursday and any cancellations will be determined at a later time if necessary.
Boone Schools will be on a 2 hour delayed start tomorrow (Friday, December 16). There will be no school breakfast. Doors at Franklin will open for students at 9:45 and school begins at 10:10. Stay safe everyone!

BCSD will have a two hour late start Friday, December 16th.

Cafe Winter is now open! (For 3rd grade)

Franklin Parents: You may have heard about our upcoming Cafe' Winter event that's happening later this week at Franklin. We always love to have parents join us for lunch at Franklin. However, this is a special event for students that happens in the library and space is extremely limited. For this reason, we ask families NOT to attend lunch with students on the day they attend Cafe' Winter. 3rd grade will attend Cafe' Winter on Thursday of this week and 4th/2nd will attend Cafe' Winter on Friday. Any other day would be a great day to stop by and join us for lunch! We'll make sure to post lots of pictures of Cafe' Winter on our Facebook page. Thanks for your help with this!
