A Word From Mrs. Loor
Dear Franklin Families,
We had another fun week of activities with our Neurodiversity Acceptance Spirit Week, Bash the Trash assembly and TREP$ marketplace. Thank you for your incredible support and participation in all of our school events and activities. Our Garden Club got to work getting our garden beds ready for spring planting. We plan on growing cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, basil, marigolds, and much more!
The countdown is on and we have 5 school days left until spring break. We will have an author visit with Candace Fleming on Monday. She has written over 50 books for readers of all ages for both fiction and and nonfiction genres. On Wednesday, our fifth graders will be walking over to LCJSMS for their Open Doors experience.
Have an amazing week!
With Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Loor

This past week, the elementary schools participated in the District Arts Festival. This event combines the music and art departments for the entire district and showcases select student artwork, fashion, film and music at the High School. The celebrated artwork will remain on display through the month of April. Congrats to the Franklin artists who were acknowledged and awarded certificates last Thursday evening at the opening ceremony!
