The PTA is forming a Family Engagement / Events Committee, and we would love your ideas and (self-) nominations for a Committee Chairperson, Events Committee members, or even folks who will sign up to be general volunteers for the PTA. You can also email us at email us at FranklinSDPTA@gmail.com if you can help with any of these things, so we can spread the love that makes our school so awesome!

Membership Matters
Ok, well this is kind of embarrassing but we need your help. We really need you to become a member of the PTA this year. Having a strong membership allows us to keep bringing exciting and fun programs to the school, raise money and awareness about how parents can support their children in school, and be taken seriously when we speak to district, city, county and state agencies about the challenges facing our school. If the membership fee is a barrier, please complete our PTA Member Due Scholarship Form, and a generous corporate sponsor will cover your dues!
Despite all the amazing energy and excitement this year, we still have not reached our membership goal. Please help us now if only so we can take out this request from future newsletters.
We need all students, parents, teachers, and interested community members to join our PTA so we can advocate with a unified voice on the most important issues facing our students and families!
We'd love to hear from you! Connect with us on Facebook or Instagram, or email us at FranklinSDPTA@gmail.com to tell us what’s on your mind, how you want to get involved, or what you wish was *even better* about our school!
*Note: Family Wednesday is a chance for parents to tour their students’ classrooms and see the students actively learning from 8:20-8:50 am four times a year in September, October, January & March.
