Ben Franklin Elementary School
December 2023
As you read this edition of the Ben Franklin newsletter, I hope that you can reflect on positives over the last 12 months! Here are a few positives from me over the last 12 months:
Remodel of heating and air conditioning in all of Ben Franklin!
It is so nice to have consistent heat throughout the building with our new boilers.
Throughout the summer and into the beginning of fall it will be much more comfortable in the building!
PTO fenced in our playground
This increases the safety/security of our students.
Great staff
Without great staff, kids would not enjoy their learning!
These are just a few of the positive things, but there are many many more! I hope your new year is bright and filled with joy. Thank you for your continued support of Ben Franklin Elementary.

~Pull as far forward as possible. Traffic flow is greatly affected when this does not happen.

We’re Ready for School, But is School Ready for US?
What a great start to this year's fundraising efforts! Without our families support, we would not be able to help fund teacher and school requests. We are currently in the phase of replenishing funds that have been distributed over the last year. We appreciate your hard work with the pizza fundraiser and you joining us at turkey bingo! We love coming together for the benefit of the students. Please consider joining in at a meeting! First Tuesday of every month at 5:15 in the library. We are full of funsies!!
Kind regards and warm fuzzy feelings,
