Franklin Open House Art Faire: Open House is upon us and we are excited to share the magnificent artwork our kids (with the help of those fantastic Art Docent Volunteers) have created.  We are going to have an "Art Walk" in the Art Room (Room 21) during open house, displaying the artwork of all our students.  We will have an "art sale" where "Sold" stickers will be available for a $1 (or more) donation to be placed on an art project of your choice.  In addition, this year we will be having a table set up outside the "Art Walk" were kids can decorate a cookie for $1.00.  So, please stop by Room 21 between 5:30 - 7:00 pm on May 31st.  The kids love to show off their artwork, and all the money collected goes directly to the Franklin PTC Art Docent Program.

School play:  Dates have been changed from May 18-19 to June 2-3.  This is a Saturday and Sunday schedule.  Saturday performance at 6pm and a Sunday matinee at 2pm.  We will be performing a middle school adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
