A Word From Mrs. Loor
The third graders had a wonderful time at Ellis Island. Thank you to the teachers and chaperones who made this trip a success. I loved hearing all about it from the students the next day. We are lucky to live so close to many historic sites.
Report cards will be available to parents on Genesis this Friday, March 24th. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions regarding his/her progress in school.
This is a final reminder to sign up to participate in the P.E. Showcase! Please click HERE to see your child's P.E. schedule and reach out to Mrs. Burr if you have any questions.
Please click HERE for more information about the class placement process for next year and to fill out the optional parent input form. All responses need to be submitted by Friday, March 31st. No responses will be accepted after this date.
Have a great week!
With Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Loor

TEAM UP FOR HEALTHY EATING!
Did you know that Franklin Elementary School is a USDA Team Nutrition School? As a “team,” Franklin School is working towards healthier school nutrition and snacking.
Team Franklin needs your help! Please be mindful of the student snack choices that are sent in on a daily basis. Many students are bringing candy and other unhealthy snacks to be consumed both in the classroom and lunchroom.
Snacks of minimal nutritional value, those that are high in sugar and fat and those with empty calories (i.e. candy, cookies, gushers, chips, sugary drinks etc.) are all foods of minimal nutritional value, and are not in keeping with our District Nutrition Policy #8505.
In addition, many candies contain nuts, or are processed in a plant with nuts, and put students with nut allergies at risk for exposure.
Fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurts and cheeses, hummus, popcorn, low sugar snack bars, and whole grain crackers are great alternatives and help establish healthy eating habits.
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.
