LOST AND FOUND Brrrr – It’s cold outside!! Are you missing any of your kids’ sweaters? There are still lots of unclaimed sweaters etc. in the Lost & Found. Please remind your kids to check for anything that may have been left behind, and/or check next time you are at Franklin. L&F has moved down to the hall next to the cafeteria (by the side entrance to the playground), so the kids run past it when they go to recess. Also, a gentle reminder to label clothes with last names and ideally also a cell phone number – that way it is much easier to reunite the lost items with their owners. A while back there were items with the following names (please ignore if you have already recovered your items) – Weir,  Parella,  O’Neill,  Piterbarg,  Praveio,  McCann,  Garrett, Arman,  Joublin,  Bauchs,  Turk,  Rozenblatt,  Pardo (Ski Pants),  Grainger,  Beatty,  Haselmann Thank you for claiming your items!
