Teacher Appreciation Week 2026!
National Teacher Appreciation Week this year is May 4-8. Last year we collected notes of appreciation from families and students about our teachers and staff. It was such a success, we'd like to do it again. We will print out notes and give them to the designated staff member as well as post them on our socials. Submit as many as you want.

Students at Paul Smith School have been practicing showing kindness around our school! When staff members "catch" them showing kindness they get a shout out on morning announcements and their picture taken with our Kindness board! Miss Gilbert's art class worked together to create our collaborative Kindness mural! You can be the I in kind!

Today PSS was visited by CourtBloom. This is an organization, based here in Franklin that has the goal of introducing lifelong activities to members of the community. The focus today was on learning how to play tennis. The PSS students had a great time and really benefited from this visit. Lots of new skills were learned!
