Mr. Bonjean’s 7th graders successfully passed the Constitution Test. Mr. Bonjean said “I can’t remember the last time everyone passed the test on the initial effort. I am very proud of the 7th grade. The 88.1% average, I am reasonably sure that’s the highest average in the 13 years I have been giving the test.” Well done 7th graders. We are proud of you!

Franklin Junior and Senior High students. In consideration of the exceptional work by everyone, and the added stress of COVID19 and Mask Mandates this semester, we have decided not to have Semester Exams. Instead of Final Exams, our students will be using December 20th and 21st as community service days. Our amazing staff are busily planning activities where our students can make positive contributions to our community residents. Examples of service projects for the days are: raking leaves for those not able to tend to their lawns, make Christmas Cards and craft activities for nursing homes, go shopping, purchase gifts, wrap and deliver to students and families in need, purchase food items and deliver a delicious Christmas dinner to families in need, and many more. Our purchases will be made possible by those who donated to the District Needy Student Fund. We are also asking for input from the community should you know someone that needs their Holiday Season brightened. All you need to do is call the High School Office and give us a name. We will take it from there. Help us “make the season bright” for those community members in need.
