Red Ribbon Week in Mrs. DeGraff's Fourth Grade Class!
Today, we caught a couple of fifth graders voluntarily taking their lunch with Mr. Harrison so they could continue working on their projects.
Three students were working on a bridge challenge. One student explained, "We get $12,500 fake dollars to build a bridge that holds the most hot wheels cars. We have to use our resources."
Another student continued on a map project she was excited to work on. FMS fifth graders are definitely committed to learning!
STEM Challenge at FMS today! Create a chair that can hold a stuffed toy with nothing other than 5 sheets of paper and 5 strips of tape!
This is an updated alert. Due to road construction all buses will be delayed for up to 60 minutes or more today. Again all buses will be delayed dropping off the students by up to 60 minutes or more today. Thank you

Good Afternoon,
An update to the previous message about bus routes running late. We have communication that due to the paving and construction in the area all bus routes are running late.
Dear Franklin Families,
Thank you all for your patience as we settled into our routines with the buses and pickup/dropoff the first week of school. :) It is much appreciated.
I am reaching out to remind you that there is no school tomorrow because of the primary election. School will be back in session on Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Dan LeGallo

Dear Franklin Families,
With the impending hot weather we will be shortening the school schedules starting tomorrow for the remainder of the week.
The elementary school will dismiss students at 11:00 tomorrow through Friday. The middle school will dismiss students at 12:00 tomorrow through Friday. The high school will dismiss students at 12:15 tomorrow through Friday.
I apologize for the inconvenience but do not want students in classrooms in the afternoon when the temperatures reach their peak. I hope the students enjoy the last week of school.
Sincerely,
Dan LeGallo
