🇺🇸 Veterans Day Assembly 🇺🇸
Our students came together to honor and celebrate our nation’s heroes during today’s Veterans Day Awards Assembly. The entire school proudly sang “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” and each grade level performed a song representing a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces:
🎖️ 5th Grade – The Marines’ Hymn
✈️ 4th Grade – The U.S. Air Force
🚛 3rd Grade – The Army Goes Rolling Along
⚓️ 2nd Grade – Anchors Aweigh
🛟 1st Grade – Semper Paratus
In preparation for the assembly, students wrote essays about what the flag means to them, created flags and patriotic art, and brought in tributes to honor family members who have served. ❤️ They also colored poppies, soldiers, and other symbols of gratitude to help show their support and respect for our veterans.
We are so proud of our Falcons for showing such heartfelt appreciation for those who have served our country. 💙❤️🤍
Reminder: Tomorrow there will be an assembly in the gym to recognize the upcoming Veteran's Day. Please arrive at 9AM. We ask that only families with veterans are in attendance as our seating and capacity are limited. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. Thanks to all the veterans for your service!

We have an exciting addition to our library! They have to stay covered for a few more days, but soon new friends will emerge! We can't wait!! Ask your Falcons if they know what they are.
Parents, please remind students that they are not to bring toys or personal products (such as. lotions, perfumes, hairspray, etc.) to school. Toys cause distractions to the learning environment. The personal products can cause allergic reactions and/or safety risks. Again, these items are not to be brought to school. If you have any questions, please call. Thank you and have a great week!
Franklin Elementary is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to participate in their Read Aloud program, starting in October. Volunteers will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on students by fostering a love for reading and enhancing their literacy skills. This commitment involves visiting the school once a week to read aloud to classes, engaging students with captivating stories, and encouraging their imaginations. If you have a passion for literature and a desire to inspire young minds, consider joining this rewarding initiative. Your participation can make a significant difference in the educational journey of these children.
