Principal Update
Dear Franklin Families,
As we wrap up 2024 and look forward to the new year, we want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your support and partnership throughout this year. The holiday season is a wonderful time to reflect on the memories we've made and set our goals for the year ahead.
We hope that each of you enjoys quality time with your family and friends, making lasting memories and cherishing the special moments. As we step into 2025, we look forward to all the opportunities and growth that the new year will bring.
On behalf of our entire Franklin Academy family, we wish your family a joyful holiday season filled with peace, love, and happiness. We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2025 to continue our shared journey of learning and growth.
Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!
Warmly,
