Dr. Eva Lazar, Program Coordinator of The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School, gave a follow up presentation to Franklin parents at the PTO meeting Friday, Nov 20. Dr. Lazar reviewed the assembly our children attended as well as facilitated a case study with Franklin parents. The mission of The Ethics Institute is to promote the process and practice of ethical decision making in primary and secondary school communities.  It was a thought provoking discussion- please see the attached presentation for more information.

The Book Fair was fun for all. A huge thank you goes out to our very organized chairs, Mrs. Cohen and Mrs. Flaim, and their shadows, Mrs. Birch and Mrs. Kessel. Thanks also to the many volunteers who helped set up and assisted during the Book Fair. Did you know 8th graders from LCJSMS helped pack up everything to earn service hours. They all worked very hard. Finally thank you to all who bought books. A gift of books open minds. Happy Reading.
