A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
On Wednesday, February 8, during Advisory, our Freshman class will listen to a guest speaker, Joe Beckman. The presentation from Mr. Beckman will focus on building empathy, resilience, and a sense of self-worth and legacy with our 9th graders. We are able to have Mr. Beckman join us through our partnership with the city of Franklin and Volition Franklin. As a school, we have a goal to increase student engagement. We know that learning can only be maximized when students feel safe, seen, heard, and cared for. We are thankful for our partnership and look forward to having our Freshman engage in this experience.
Sincerely,
Mike Vuolo
