Family Math Night was a hit on Wednesday! A big shoutout to our amazing volunteers, including an awesome crew of 5th graders, who made the night possible. Your energy and effort brought everything together!

Franklin families enjoyed a wide mix of math games, exciting prizes, and plenty of chances to connect as a community. There truly was something for everyone.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the evening so special. Way to go, Falcons!

Mark your calendars and join us for an important community meeting on Wednesday, April 16 at 6pm in the Franklin Library. This is a valuable opportunity for everyone to come together and share ideas about how upcoming bond funds should be invested at Franklin.

The focus of this discussion will be on potential upgrades to our facilities and grounds, and your input is essential in helping shape these improvements. We encourage all community members to attend, participate, and have a voice in planning for the future of our shared spaces.

Be sure to re-register your returning student(s) for the upcoming school year as soon as possible. Doing so will help the staff plan for next year and hang on to our wonderful teachers and staff!

If you haven't yet received your snap code letter, please reach out to Mrs. O'Dea for help. 

If you know that you will not be returning to Franklin next year, please notify the school as soon as possible as well. This will allow free up spots for newly registering students.

This week, our Franklin Falcons enjoyed an energizing assembly with Alphabet Rockers, a Grammy-winning hip-hop group that uses music and movement to promote belonging, empathy, and social justice. Through songs and dance, students were encouraged to celebrate their identities, respect differences, and stand up for one another.

Dear Falcon Families,

Welcome to a new school year! I’m thrilled to serve as your Franklin PTA President and to work alongside our wonderful board of 23 dedicated parent volunteers. The PTA is open to all families, and we warmly invite you to join us—whether it’s by becoming a member, serving on a committee, or lending a hand at one of our many events. Your voice and participation help shape the experiences we create for our children.

Last year, thanks to your generosity, our Walk-A-Thon and other fundraisers raised over $80,000. These funds directly supported enrichment programs like field trips, assemblies, the first-ever Franklin Science Expo, Makerspace and community events such as Family Bingo Night, the Glow Party and Kidchella. Together, we made a real impact—and we couldn’t have done it without you.

This year, our biggest fundraiser—the Walk-A-Thon—is just around the corner (October 17 at 1pm). We hope you’ll get involved by becoming a t-shirt sponsor (deadline is September 27 at noon), donating, or volunteering. Every contribution helps us continue bringing memorable and enriching programs and opportunities to our students and our Franklin community.

Here’s to another year of connection, learning, and fun—Go Falcons!

Warmly,
Winnie Wu 

Mom to Alessandra (K, Room 5), Penelope (2.5yo)
