The PTO sponsored assembly by the Story Pirates on Friday afternoon was a perfect way to end a snowy week.  The performers acted out plays written by students in 4th, 3rd, 5th and even a kindergartner at others schools in the NY/NJ area.  Thanks to an SEF grant, the Story Pirates will come back to Franklin to work with our 2nd graders on writing their own stories.  This will culminate in another Story Pirates performance where they act out the plays written by our very own students.
