THIS WEEK'S NEWS
The weather cooperated and we had Franklin's first Kindness Walk this past Monday.  A huge thank you to the Kindness Walk Committee, all the volunteers on Monday and to the whole Franklin Community for making the first RaiseCraze/Kindness Walk an enormous success!  The final numbers come in at 1151 Acts of Kindness and $37,110.25 raised!  As we have made the goal of $35,000 raised, we are now able to eliminate many of the smaller PTA fundraisers throughout the rest of the year. And I think we can all appreciate that!

Parent Teacher conferences continue this week.  Picture re-takes are on Wednesday, October 12th. No School tomorrow, so enjoy the long weekend and go Cubbies! 

Here's to a great week,
Your PTA Board
