Melissa Madden and Maggie Greene are heading up this year’s Franklin Fair, but they still need just a few parents to spearhead TWO key committees to make the Fair a huge success! You don’t need to do it alone…find a friend and have some fun. The first meeting won’t be until after the holidays, so you don’t need to even think about it until 2017! Silent Auction: We need one or two parents to help us secure the goods that we all love to bid on and that help us reach our fundraising goals. We will help you, but we need your leadership to make it happen. Children’s Raffle: It’s the most popular part of the Fair for all the kids! We need a motivated set of parents (one is fine, but two is better!) to help purchase the Raffle items and get them ready for the Fair. Contact Melissa (melissamaddenfamily@gmail.com) or Maggie (mrmccart@yahoo.com) if you are interested. They can give you more details and help you find another parent to help if you need.

Tuesday Mornings in FLIC: Library Pages Grades 3-5 Looking for more children to join us. What is a Library Page? It is someone who wants to do one or more of the following: adopt a shelf in FLIC to take care of it, help write a weekly school tweet, assist in preparing for special school events that involve the library (author visits, Read Across America Day, and so on), create book reviews to get other children excited about reading.
