The Franklin Connection
Happy New Year from the PTO:
Thank you to Julie Youdovin, the Social Action Committee and the Franklin community for the generous donations of gift cards and toys. We know many families’ holidays were brighter as a result!
The end of 2011 brought some exciting news to Franklin. The Franklin School PTO applied for and received a $2,500 grant for computers from one of our newest businesses in West Newton – The Peoples Bank. The bank moved to the neighborhood a few months back into the old Store 24 space, and told us about their corporate giving program. We applied through a competitive process and were chosen to receive these funds to purchase much-needed computers for our school. We are very grateful for this grant and extend a huge thank you to the Peoples Bank!
Franklin PTO Board Members Sue Membrino and Julia Wolfe receive donation from Peoples Bank Staff.
