A Message of Gratitude to Our Franklin School Community
Dear Franklin Family,
In times of sorrow, itβs the strength and unity of our community that lifts us up. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming love, support, and prayers you have extended to us after the heartbreaking loss of our beloved student, Emmanuel.
Your kindness and compassion have provided comfort and healing during this difficult time. As we remember Emmanuel and the joy he brought to our school, we take solace in knowing we are surrounded by such a caring and supportive community.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we will continue to honor Emmanuelβs memory, and support one another as a Franklin family.
