A Word From Mrs. Loor
We had a busy week! It was so fun celebrating Ms. Audino all week. Dressing for success was my favorite day! Our 5th graders attended BizTown on Wednesday and had an amazing time putting all their learning into action. On Thursday, it was a treat to listen to the performances by the Summit High School band, choir and chamber orchestra. It was a great segway into the third grade instrument trials that will take place this week. AND we celebrated the 100th day of school!
Mrs. Burr's P.E. Showcase is back! Please see click HERE for more information and to RSVP to join your child's P.E. class.
Please remember that tomorrow is a single session day with dismissal at 12:30 PM.
Happy Valentine's Day! May you feel the love from those closest to you!
Have a lovely week!
With Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Loor
Counselor's Corner
Thank you so much for the recognition during National School Counseling Week! I really felt the love from students, staff, and families throughout the entire week. I feel so lucky to work in such a wonderful community and to be a part of the Franklin Family.
I wanted to take this opportunity to share a resource from the American School Counselor Association explaining a bit more about the role of a School Counselor (see flyer below).
Warmly,
Ms. Lea Audino MA, NCC

REMINDER:
As students, teachers and parents look forward to celebrating Valentine’s Day with parties in the classrooms, we ask that you keep our district’s nutrition policy and Franklin School’s everyday emphasis on healthy eating in mind. Please DO NOT attach any type of candy or food items to your child’s classroom Valentine’s Day cards.
Valentine candies are hazardous to many of our Franklin students who have food allergies and other dietary issues. Many candies, even those without nuts, are made in facilities that process nuts, and run the risk of cross contamination. Please note, in order to maintain a safe and inclusive environment for all Franklin students, any cards with candy or food items attached will NOT be distributed.
There are many creative and fun alternatives to candy and sweets for both cards and class parties. Stickers, small erasers, and pencils are excellent substitutes should you wish to attach something extra to your child’s card.
For health-related questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Zanelli, our school nurse. Her email is azanelli@summit.k12.nj.us. You can also visit the Summit Public Schools Virtual Health Office for additional information.
