Francone Elementary
October Newsletter
A Note from the Principal
We had a sensational September here at Francone Elementary! Our Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night was a huge success, and it was so much fun to visit with our Falcons outside of school hours. We hope that you and your family were able to attend and enjoy the evening with our staff.
October brings much excitement, as we kick off the 40 Book Challenge in classrooms across the campus. Be on the lookout for your child to begin tracking his/her reading accomplishments with genre-based "brag tag" necklaces. Guest readers visited each classroom to get things started, and our students have been such an enthusiastic audience! Be sure to ask your child about his/her progress and encourage them to participate in the challenge. At-home reading can have a huge impact on a child's literacy.
Take a look at the rest of our newsletter to read about our upcoming events. Be sure to stay informed about the great things happening on our campus by following us on Twitter (@FranconeElem) or "liking" us on Facebook. We appreciate your partnership!
