Chief Robert Weck, Summit PBA Local #55 and members of the Summit Police Department are excited to announce their 2nd annual food and household goods collection. The event is scheduled to begin Monday May 23rd and will conclude on Monday June 13th. The Summit Police Department will be partnering with the non-profit organization Family Promise (Union County) to be a recipient of the items collected. In addition to Family Promise, by the suggestion of Geleen Donovan, Executive Director of Family Promise- Union County, the Summit Police Department will also be teaming up with the Junior League of Summit to benefit from the items collected. The Junior League of Summit has been supportive of a handful of families right here in our own community who struggle to supply meals for their loved ones during the summer months. Drop off bin located in the Franklin Main Lobby.

All parents are invited to come view the school wide Art Show in the cafeteria on Wednesday June 1st and Thursday June 2nd. Parents in Grades 1-3 may come after school on Wed or Thurs. Parents in Grades 4-5 will see it the evening of their child’s Spring Concert. We are so proud of each child’s artistic creations!

FRANKLIN FIELD DAY IS WEDNESDAY JUNE 15!  We need parent volunteers for field day! Please note that Field Day 2016 is going to be a different format than prior years.  This year, there will be an Olympics theme and the children will be participating in games similar to those that are in the Olympics.  Just like the Olympics, each class will be assigned a country to compete for and will wear those country’s colors.  First Grade and Second Grade will do the same 10 stations, as always, and similarly, Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade will rotate through the same 10 stations.  However, parent volunteers (2 at each station) will remain at the same station throughout the afternoon. They will not rotate and thus, will only need to learn how to do one game. At the conclusion of field day activities, ice pops will be distributed and then the teachers will face the 5th graders in the annual Teacher v. Students volleyball game.  All younger grades will remain outside to watch and cheer on the game. The schedule for Field Day is below: Parent Volunteers Sign In (on soccer field) 10:45 – 11:00 Parent Volunteer Orientation (on soccer field) 11:00 – […]
