Hello Franklin families!
We hope that you have had a great first couple of months of school! First of all, we wanted to thank you for all of your support at PTO events that we have had so far. Everything from virtual trivia to the Halloween Bash was so well attended, and we want to continue to find new and creative ways to bring the wonderful Franklin community together. The Franklin Flocking fundraiser just ended this week and the flamingos have flown south! We had such an amazing response from families about this new fundraiser and we love that the flocks of green flamingos showed Franklin school pride and it was something fun for the kids to wake up to and for others to walk by! Thank you so much to Kelly Schultz for her organization of this event and for all of the volunteer flockers who went out in the dark to move all of the flocks every other day! This week, Kelly has decided to step down from the board, so we would like to announce that Jessica Allen is the new PTO board secretary.
Here are some important dates for November:
ALL of November - Our 2020-2021 Dues Campaign kicks off! If you haven't paid your dues yet, please contribute online HERE. Some highlights of what the PTO has used funds for just in the last month: $1,400 towards gift cards for Franklin families in need, $200 to help replenish snacks, coffee, & tea for the Franklin staff break room, and $3,275 towards teacher discretionary checks that help them buy the supplies they need for the students in the classroom. Your dues contributions really do so much for our school. Thank you!!
