Franklin Reflections Art Exhibit December 2

You are invited to the Franklin Reflections Art Exhibit!

When: Tuesday, December 2 at 2:00-3:30pm
Where: Makerspace (next to music classroom, just past the lunch tables)

We are excited to invite you to our Reflections Artist Showcase, celebrating the creativity and hard work of the students who participated in this year’s Reflections Art competition. Stop by to view student artwork and artist statements, enjoy cookies, and celebrate our talented Franklin Falcons!

Important Notes:

  • This is not an award ceremony. Judging is still in progress, and awards will be presented in early 2026, most likely during a Community Assembly after winter break.
  • If your child prefers not to have their work displayed in the Makerspace, please contact us.
  • The event begins at regular Tuesday dismissal time, so the campus will be open, and fingerprinting is not required for family or friends who would like to attend.

We hope your child—and family and friends—can join us for a fun photo opportunity, sweet treats, and a celebration of student creativity!

Please reach out with any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
