Franklin Families and Students,
Thank you to all of our students, staff, and families for a great week at FMS. It was awesome to see everyone jump right back into impactful work and engaging learning experiences after the Thanksgiving Holiday.
I have been very impressed by the sense of service that has been on display by our SCA student leaders. Their hard work and dedication has created a holiday food drive for our community. There is more information below and we would love to have you participate. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
We are also excited that our musical ensembles are performing again. Congratulations to Ms. Bradner and our Orchestra students for an outstanding performance last night with the Chantilly HS Orchestra. The FMS Band and Chorus students will be performing next week. We hope to see you there!
Always feel free to contact me directly at dpwright@fcps.edu if you have questions, concerns, or if there is anything our team can do to support your student.
Thank you for your continued support and enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Dustin Wright
Principal

We have had over 450 students attend the After School Program. If your child has not yet participated, it’s not too late! Many of our clubs are “open enrollment” meaning students are welcome to start attending whenever they are ready. Our late bus days are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with parent pick up on Tuesdays and Fridays. Two new clubs starting next week include Robotics and Origami Club. Please click here and check out the schedule for the next two weeks. For questions regarding the After School Program, please email Mrs. Mollé.
