 Dear Franklin Families,

Wow, what a beautiful weekend maybe spring is right around the corner!

Thank you to Mrs. Tenenbaum who coordinated our Read Across America activities last week. We culminated the week with a school assembly where each class shared a poem or song about reading and several staff members performed a Reader’s Theatre for the school.

This year we decided to pay special attention to the book “The Lorax” and we are encouraging our students to make every effort to “go green.”  One way everyone can help is to make the effort to switch to reusable water bottles!

We will continue the 5210 program this month with an emphasis on limiting screen time to two hours or less per day. Please continue to help your child find new ways to spend the time they would normally be watching television, using the computer or playing video games, and document their successes on the March goal trackers that were sent home at the end of last week. Remind them also to continue to work on increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables they eat and to substitute sweet drinks with water, 100% fruit juice or low fat milk.

The Franklin School, in conjunction with the North Andover Youth Center, will be sponsoring a personal care drive for residents in our community.  Each grade level is asked to bring in specific personal care items.  These donations will be packaged into family units, and will be distributed by the Youth Center to families in our town.   Donations will be accepted Monday March 9 –Wednesday, March 18, and can be placed in the marked containers located at the school's entrance. 

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the yearbook cover contest. We were impressed by all the entries.

This year’s cover contest winners are:
