Raise Craze is almost here! We kick off MONDAY, October 4! Flyers with registration information will be sent home with your student on Friday 10/1. 

What exactly is Raise Craze? A fundraiser we can be proud of! This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling!

WELCOME TO THE FRANKLIN FALCONS 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR!
On behalf of the Franklin PTA, welcome to a new start of the school year. We are not sure yet what the beginning of school will look like as we await news from D64, but we want to officially welcome our Falcons as we start preparing for the first day of school and all of the volunteer opportunities that come with it. 

Franklin School PTA is a 100% volunteer based organization optimizing the education experience of our students in partnership with parents and staff. 

Every year, Franklin parents give generously of their time, money, and talent to fund and staff PTA programs that provide academic, enrichment, and community-building programs. We support author visits, assemblies, fun seasonal events, enrichment clubs, and much more.
An annual membership is $10 per parent or faculty member, or $20 for two parents, and is available for purchase in the Store. Your membership is good through August 1st, 2020 - July 31, 2021. We continually update PTA members with weekly emails. 

Login to your account to purchase your membership, or if you are a new family to Franklin (WELCOME!) please register for a new account on Membership Toolkit. YOU CAN PURCHASE YOUR MEMBERSHIP STARTING AUGUST 1ST. 
If you have any questions about the PTA and how to get involved, please email info@franklinpta.com.
