Digital Secretary Needed!
Falcons! We are looking for a digital secretary to take over the S’more and social media for next year! Reach out to franconiahs@gmail.com if you are interested!
This is part of the Home and School Executive Board which means you would attend Home & School meetings once per month. The position manages the weekly S’more Falcon Flyer as well as the posts for Facebook and Instagram regarding upcoming events and needs in our community. We would like to continue to increase our family involvement and a louder social media presence could help keep the community more informed and engaged!
Falcons Helping Falcons
Throughout the year, opportunities arise to help a fellow Franconia Falcon (and sometimes their family too). The needs are normally unpredictable and anonymous, but in many times they are needs that fellow Falcons can help meet!
If you are interested in hearing about these needs and possibly helping out, join our Facebook page: Falcons Helping Falcons
Franconia Home & School
The Franconia Home and School has a Facebook page. To join, click this link .
Note: You must answer all of the questions to be added.
This is a great way to get reminders throughout the school year and get to know other parents!
