Franklin Primary School

Principal Howard did a great job running Franklin yesterday! 💙🦅 We are so thankful for opportunities like this to spend time alongside our Board of Education members as they serve and support our schools. Thank you, Principal Howard, for spending yesterday morning with our Franklin Family! ❤️💚💙🖤

💙✨ TOMORROW IS WORLD DREAMER’S DAY—AND RÊVEUR IS TAKING OVER! ✨💙

Tomorrow we celebrate our Rêveur House of Dreamers! All students may wear BLUE! Students who do not wear blue should be in regular Franklin uniform.

📚 At 9:25 AM, all of Franklin will STOP EVERYTHING AND READ! We are celebrating the legendary dreamer Dolly Parton, whose Imagination Library has given more than 300 MILLION books to children! 📚🌎

Dolly shows us that BIG dreams can change the world!

💙 Wear BLUE. Dream BIG. Get ready to READ! 📚✨
