Franklin Academy observes Take A Child to Work Day and Beyond on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

This is a district-approved field trip and will not be counted as an absence if the completed field trip form is submitted to the school by Thursday April 17, 2025.

Only students in Grades 2–8 / MYP Y3 are eligible to participate.

Students may participate by spending the day at a workplace with a parent, guardian, adult relative, or family friend. This experience is designed to be more than career exploration—it’s about helping students see the connection between education, family, and future goals in a real-world, hands-on setting.

🎓Students may wear a white collared shirt under their gown for their portrait🎓
