Dear Franklin Families,
We are excited to announce the Molly Bridenbaugh, one of our 7th Grade History teachers, was selected as the Outstanding New Secondary Teacher for the Chantilly Pyramid. She will now go on to compete at the Region Level with the other pyramid winners from Region 5. We are very proud of Molly and we are grateful for her endless dedication to her colleagues, our families, and most importantly, our students. Way to go Molly!
Have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for all that you do to support the students at Franklin MS.
