Our mission:  We provide a forum for parents, teachers, administrators and the community to enhance the learning environment for our students.

“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” -- Ben Franklin



Wow!!!  $50,000 raised at our Jogathon!!!

A HUGE thank you to all the Franklin students and parents for their generosity and support during our annual Jogathon.  We raised over $50,000 -- and are still awaiting some matching funds.  Our Ben Franklin community continues to amaze us with their support of our students and teachers.  
 
The donations will go back to the students in the form of enrichment, field trips, science programs, art programs, money for teacher learning and tools, and more. And, since we reached our goal, Mrs Bilanko and staff get to enjoy the silly shower dunk tank! The prize assembly is November 28th at 2:30.
 
While we are "done" with our fundraiser,  we will continue to promote "silent fundraisers" like Scrip and Amazon.com to allow families to donate a percentage of regular purchases toward the school.  All money that comes in through these organizations also gets channeled back into student and teacher programs.
