SEPTEMBER 4, 2023
Dear Families,
Congratulations to Mrs. Slaby for being the 2023 Excellent Educator Award Southwood Glen winner! Each year the Franklin Foundation collects nominations of Franklin Public School educators. Below is Mrs. Slaby’s nomination.
Mrs. Slaby is an amazing person and teacher. She doesn't just teach, she inspires! She has inspired me to love learning more than I used to. She cares for students not just as a whole, but individually. Another great quality she carries is putting others before herself. Mrs. Slaby is an AMAZING person and teacher.
Last Thursday night the community recognized her and the other Franklin Public Schools award winners at the Milwaukee Milkman Baseball Game. Southwood Glen could not be prouder!
Yours in education,
Bridget Mowbray

CLASSROOM SNACKS
Please remember to pack daily snacks for your students. Snacks allowed in classrooms must follow the District Wellness Policy, meaning that your student may choose to bring in fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, or yogurts unless teacher or nurse discretion warrants further limitations. Specific examples include fresh fruit, applesauce pouches, fruit cups, raisins, carrots, celery, peppers, string cheese, cheese cubes, deli meats, and meat sticks.
New this year: Pretzels, popcorn, and goldfish crackers are also approved snacks. As we have many students with peanut and tree nuts allergies in all buildings, snacks that contain nut products (e.g. peanut butter pretzels) will not be permitted in classrooms. Some safe brands to consider for added snack options include Skinny Pop, Annie's, Snyder's, Smartfood, Pepperidge Farm, and Pretzel Crisps.

ATTENTION 4K & KINDERGARTEN FAMILIES

FHS ATHLETIC EVENTS REMINDER FOR YOUNGER FANS
As a reminder for our high school athletic events, students from the elementary and middle school attending any FHS athletic events must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/caregiver. Students that come to the event without an accompanying parent/guardian/caregiver will not be admitted to the event. Students who need redirection regarding their behavior at any FHS athletic events will be brought back to their parent/guardian/caregiver. Thank you for helping us do what we can to keep our events enjoyable for all fans and focused on the athletic endeavors of our players.
