Dear Franklin Families,
The end of our school year is right around the bend! Important events and information are as follows:
- Authors’ Teas: Our first and second grade teachers have planned these events to share highlights of students’ “published” works as young writers. We look forward to these celebrations with you.
- Teacher of the Year Recognition: Ms. Stochaj will be honored this Wednesday evening at 6:30 at SHS with a reception followed by formal Board of Education recognition. We hope that you can join us.
- Parent Volunteers Requested: We are very fortunate to continue to receive generous support from Central Office administration! Please email me if you are interested in either or both of these exciting enhancements:
- We have just received approval for a new gathering space that will serve as a Professional Development Center, Parent Meeting space, and Staff Lounge! A room will be fully renovated to suit these multipurpose needs and I welcome parents to join my staff committee, as decorating decisions need to be made prior to the end of this school year. Our first meeting will be this Wednesday at 3:00.
- We have also received approval for our play area blacktop to be repaved over the summer. This means fresh, newly painted play areas including four square, a new US map, kickball, hopscotch, and other possible new additions! I look forward to coordinating efforts with the PTO, staff, and parent volunteers to prepare and complete this makeover within the month of September.
- Field Day: Please take a moment to read the attached letter:

Next week’s end of year letter will include a “highlights reel” of all we’ve accomplished together this school year and a “sneak preview” of exciting plans in the works for the year to come! I look forward to our continued partnerships to enhance learning experiences for our children, a supportive environment for our dedicated staff, and a welcoming atmosphere for our engaged parent community!
Have a wonderful week,
Mrs. Mirrione
