Dear Franklin Community, Just to update you on the Ms. Stochaj Read Across America Challenge 2016. This year we had 149 students and 17 adults (staff and parents) participate. I am hoping next year we can have even more participants. Working as a team one class had 100% participation. Congrats to 5W! In the corner of F.L.I.C. we have an area called ‘The Space.’ This is an area to create, build, and investigate monthly challenges. I have an idea for a challenge for the end of the year BUT I need your help. Please save egg cartons for us and send them in with your child. Thank you. So are you asking yourself why your child has 6 library books? It is because the Summit Free Public LIbrary is renovating the children’s section. I wanted to be sure your children had enough to read. Sincerely, Lorelei Stochaj, School Librarian

Minion coloring pages were in the Wednesday folders for students in 1st through 3rd grade. If your child would like to color them and return them to his or her teacher, we will use them to decorate for the Franklin Fair. If you have any questions please email melissamaddenfamily@gmail.com.
