Congratulations to our students who received the final Character Strong certificates of 2024 at lunch today!
3rd grade had a great time at Cafe Winter this week! Thanks again to all of our amazing school staff, food service staff and high school students who helped make it happen!
Franklin Families: Tomorrow is pajama day for the whole school. We switched it due to the theme for our Character Strong assembly.
Some classrooms may also be doing a pajama day on Friday, which would have been communicated by classroom teachers but we'll be doing a pajama day for the whole school tomorrow. So... feel free to send kids in their PJs on Thursday!
Reminder: Today is an early release for teacher professional development. Franklin students will be dismissed at 1:05.
Cafe Winter for 3rd & 4th was a big success on Friday! Big thanks to all of our staff who helped with decorating, setting up, serving and cleaning up. Thanks to our high school volunteers who helped with service. Special THANK YOU to our amazing kitchen staff! Cafe Winter is quite a bit of extra work for them and they were amazing. 3rd grade has reservations this week and it should be fun!
Big thanks to everyone who donated to our PTO fundraiser! With your support, our elementary PTO was able to earn $27,816! We appreciate everyone's support of our schools! ❤️💚
So proud of our 4th grade choir! They did an amazing job kicking off the 20th Hope Festival and getting everyone in the holiday spirit! Thanks to Mrs. Cunningham for her work with this great group of kids!

4th Grade Families:
Reminder that family art days are this week! Hoping lots of you can make it for a fun art project! See the attachment for the days/times for each homeroom.
Big thanks to all of our families who joined us for Fall conferences last week! We had 93.4% of our families attend conferences to discuss student progress. Partnering with families is an important part of student success and we're thankful for all of our families that took the time to come and meet with our teachers.
We have 2 lunch menu changes for sides tomorrow and Friday:
Thursday:
Green beans instead of Sweet Peppers
Friday
Applesauce instead of watermelon

Wishing all of our Franklin families a happy Thanksgiving! We're thankful that you share your amazing kids with us every day!
Franklin Families: The weather is getting cold and we have a TON of winter hats and gloves. If you need a hat or gloves for a child, help yourself during conferences or let us know and our staff can help your student find a hat and gloves that are a good fit!
Reminder: Today is an early release for fall conferences. Franklin students will be dismissed at 1:05. We're looking forward to another great evening of meeting with families!
Family Art Days: Mrs. Moore is going to do something new this year called family art day! This is a day when parents, guardians, grandparents or other family members are invited to come to school and do an art project with your student. We're going to start with 4th grade which are scheduled for December 9, 10 & 11. Please see the attached schedule for the days when your student's homeroom will have family art day. We're looking forward to having lots of family members join us for a fun art project! Please contact the Franklin office or email Mrs. Moore at mmoore@boone.k12.ia.us with any questions.
We had a great assembly on Friday to wrap up gratitude month and kick off our month-long focus on EMPATHY! It's fun to celebrate the hard work and growth of our students!
Congratulations to our students who received Character Strong certificates at lunch on Friday!
