Dear Franklin CUSD 1 Families,
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your patience, understanding, and trust during today’s situation involving the non-credible threat. We know these moments can be unsettling, and the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We want to thank our staff for handling this situation with professionalism and empathy for students experiencing any anxiety. We want to thank Willie Smith and the Illinois State Police for their guidance during the investigation process. Their presence during the day today had a calming effect on everyone.
Over the next few days, we will maintain a heightened level of awareness in our district, as the safety of our staff and students is of the utmost importance. Thank you for being our partners in safety. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our administrative team with any concerns.
Sincerely,
Jeff Waggener Superintendent
Ronda Smith Pre-K-5 Principal

Kevin Johnson Dean of Students

Students in Mr. Maruna's geography class and Mrs. Bergschneider's English class joined forces in a cross-curricular activity. The activity was a summative lesson for the 7th grader's unit on sub-Saharan Africa, and 8th grader's English unit on creative literature. The students were tasked to compose a haiku poem about a nature theme, and then create a mask to model the cultural customs of many sub-Saharan African tribes.











Mrs. Lancaster's Wildlife Ecology class made Valentine's treats for the birds.
