 Students passed out Candy Grams on Valentine's Day.
Good afternoon, Franklin Community,
We had a wonderful week celebrating kindness! Students and staff did an amazing job with their participation in our spirit week, particularly with our “cupid shuffle” in which our staff dressed like students and students as staff! In addition to our fun spirit week, we also enjoyed delivering candy grams to students and the conclusion of our student volleyball tournament during Falcon Time. The week was a great reminder to all students and staff about how special this Franklin community truly is and the care we show each other everyday. It was also a way to ground ourselves back in our tier 1 Falcons CARE behavior matrix, which highlights and celebrates the behaviors we wish for all students to exhibit each day.
This week we also had the opportunity to celebrate Officer Jim Smith for SRO Appreciation Day on Thursday! We are so grateful for not only his role in keeping us safe each day, but also his commitment to building positive relationships with our students and staff.
Lastly, we have several student successes to share! Our Robotics team of Kaichen and Hayden came home with yet another award this past weekend at the Robots at the Mall tournament! Also, a huge congratulations to Raiyan Saaim, Noelle Eunhae Moon, Nihira Gole and Jamie Choi for their Regional Scholastic Art awards! We are so proud of the many talents of our students here at Franklin Middle School!
I wish you all a wonderful long weekend and, as always, please reach out to me at MLCase@fcps.edu with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Michelle Case
Interim Principal

February Is Career and Technical Education Month
