Lip Sync Sign Ups are Live! Help is Needed to Make this a Great Event!

Franconia's Lip Sync is set for Friday, April 12th, 7pm at Indian Crest Middle School. We need your help to make this event a success! How can you help?

1 - Sign up a solo or group act at this link before March 8th.

2 - Help out with the 5th Grade Act - We need a few parents to take the lead so that this fun act can happen. This usually requires 2 or 3 afternoon rehearsals during the school day prior to the event.

3 - Help out with the Parent Act - We need lots of parents to participate and one or two to take the lead. These rehearsals usually occur in the evenings at Franconia Elementary prior to the event.

The students love to see their peers, the 5th grade, and their parents on stage. Please do what you can to help make this a memorable night for everyone!

If you are interested in helping with the 5th grade act or parent act, please contact Monica Jalboot or Matt Wahl (thejalboots@gmail.com / 267-664-2713 and mrwahl22@yahoo.com / 215-622-5612).

We look forward to seeing you on stage!

For all 4th and 5th grade students who are participating in Reading Olympics, our next meeting will be held Thursday, February 1st in the gym. Please use the side entrance (car rider drop off) to drop your child off. Please have your child wait in the car until we open the doors.

Come join us for our next H&S meeting, Wednesday, March 13th at 7pm in the cafeteria!

Come and get to know other parents as well as staff dedicated to making this school year the best one yet.

Our principal, Dr. Heineck, keeps us in the loop with what is happening in the school at each meeting.

Looking to get involved? If anyone is interested in any of these positions, please reach out to Mandy Wendell aewendell@yahoo.com

Throughout the year, opportunities arise to help a fellow Franconia Falcon (and sometimes their family too). The needs are normally unpredictable and anonymous, but in many times they are needs that fellow Falcons can help meet!

If you are interested in hearing about these needs and possibly helping out, join our Facebook page: Falcons Helping Falcons

The Franconia Home and School has a Facebook page. To join, click this link .

Note: You must answer all of the questions to be added.

This is a great way to get reminders throughout the school year and get to know other parents!
