Be a WatchDOG and volunteer at Washington!
WatchDOGS (Dads of Great Students) is off to a great start this year! More dates have been added to the sign-up, taking us up to the end of the school year.
WatchDOGS do not have to commit to an ongoing schedule; they can volunteer as little as one half-day a school year. WatchDOGS help out with whole class activities and also one-to-one or small group reading and math practice. Students also love playing with WatchDOGS during recess!

Thanks for the Valentine's Parties, PTA!
Calling All 5th Graders!
Hey 5th graders!
Can you duck, dip, dive, and dodge? On Saturday, March 11, from 1-3 p.m. Franklin Middle School invites 5th graders from all CUSD200 elementary schools to participate in its Fifth Annual Dodgeball Tournament.
The theme of the 2017 event is “Service and Sacrifice.” With that theme in mind, the 2017 tournament will benefit the following charities and organizations: The DuPage Hundred Club; Team Red, White and Blue; The Pat Tillman Foundation; and Franklin Middle School. Each organization will benefit equally from the proceeds.
There will be separate boys and girls tournaments. Students will play multiple games before participating in a knock-out tournament to determine the champion.
Please form a team of a minimum of six boys or six girls and then pick up a packet in the office. Teams may carry up to two alternate players for a maximum total of eight on the team roster. Feel free to call Franklin Assistant Principal Joe Kish at 630-682-2283 with questions.
