Principal's Corner
This week has been full of amazing events and celebrations. We had the opportunity to recognize our students' successes during the Q3 Honor Roll Assemblies. It's been great to see that our students' efforts have been recognized one more time. We also had our athletic banquet for our MYP student athletes, where coaches and students were recognized after a very successful season. Congratulations to Coach Simone for the Coach of the Year award.
Also, this week our third grade students have completed the Florida Standards Assessment in English Language Arts. Our young third graders felt confident, and we are sure that they have done a great job. This week, we continue with fourth grade math, fifth grade ELA, and eight grade ELA.
Please make sure your child gets a good night sleep this week, eats a healthy breakfast, and gets to school on time. You should also tell your child some encouraging words that will make them feel great for their test.
In the Spotlight: Ms. Walker
What do you enjoy about working at Franklin Academy? I love the family oriented environment here at Franklin; I feel welcomed when I come to work every day. Both, students and staff, are a pleasure to interact with.
Tell us something that we don't know about you. I used to be a science teacher at a private school in Coral Springs.
What is your favorite memory at Franklin? The end of year party invite last school year. Mr. Delgado invited me to the celebration and this made me feel very special and appreciated.
What do you like to do in your spare time? I spend time doing family activities with my children and grandchildren.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? I would go on a world tour!!! The world is made up of so many wonderful cultures and I would love to learn about them all.
"I am very pleased to work at Franklin Academy as a City Wide employee. During the brief time I was away, I missed our students and staff. I really appreciate Mrs. Ockman for encouraging City Wide to hire me and continue working at the school. I love Franklin Academy, it is a joy and a pleasure working here!"

Broward County Math Competition
This past weekend Franklin Academy participated for the first time in the 4th and 5th grade Broward County Math Competition sponsored by BCCTM (Broward County Council of Mathematics). Our students worked really hard with their coaches to prepare and compete in this event. Mr. Mondejar was the coach for our 4th grade team, and Mr. Lucas was the coach for our 5th grade team.
We are very proud to announce that our 4th grade team came in 1st place in the Central Region for the team competition portion. Congratulations to Mr. Mondejar and his amazing group of students.
This week, the City of Sunrise has acknowledged two Franklin Academy students in their Fair Housing Art Poster Contest. Javier Salgado was awarded 1st place, and Camila Cepeda was 3rd in this art contest. Congratulations!
This past Thursday, the Athletics’ Department held their Second Annual Athletic Banquet. During this event we honored over 100 athletes and their families for their participation and dedication to our athletic program. There were over 200 people in attendance, and the event was a huge success.
This is one way our school truly honors the hard work of these individuals on and off the field or court. Coach Leonardo would once again like to thank everyone who was a part of the program this year including coaches, families, and of course our student athletes. Without any of them we would have not have had such a successful year winning eight trophies and hanging our first two divisional championship banners. Each athlete was given an award for participation, and many were honored as either a most valuable or most improved player for their team.
Lastly, Coach Leonardo would like to again congratulate Favyan Suarez and Mallory Pastorius on becoming our male and female student athlete of the year. These two students will represent us at the MSAA Broward County School banquet in May. Here are some pictures to highlight the event.
