The PTO is a joint effort between the Boone Schools teachers and parents to support the teachers and students in the Boone Community School district - we welcome EVERYONE to our meetings and would love to have your support! Focus of the PTO is to raise funds for teacher/school needs and provide family engagement opportunities for the district.
Starting this month, we will be tracking the number of parents in attendance/classroom teachers and will provide a treat to the class with the most parents in attendance!
We hope to see you on Monday.
Thank you for your support!

It's going to be snowy at recess today so make sure to send snow gear to school with your student! Please reach out to the Franklin office if you need assistance with any winter clothing.

Here's a great reminder to start the new year! Reading aloud to children, even up to 4th grade has so many positive benefits. New Year's resolution...?
For the month of January, we'll be focusing on the character trait of PERSEVERANCE. Students will be learning about perseverance and what it means to persevere in a challenging situation. Here's a little more information about perseverance and what families can do at home to reinforce this important character trait.
We're looking forward to seeing all of those smiling faces back at school tomorrow! Reminder that it's an early release for teacher professional development. Franklin students will be dismissed at 1:05.
