Peek at the Week
Week in Review & Announcements
We kicked off our Boosterthon this week and it's been an amazing start. Please see the information below for how you can help and participate in this year's Fun Run. The following week, we will be welcoming dads on campus to drop off their students to celebrate Dads Take Your Child to School Day 2018. Please see the video below to learn more about the initiative and keep an eye out for details in next week's newsletter!
FUN RUN Part 1
The FunRun is coming next Friday (9/21) and we need your help! We are raising funds for NEW TECHNOLOGY and this year's goal is $20,000. Our hope is that Boosterthon is our primary fundraiser for the entire year! This past week, your student has been learning how to solve mysteries with character through this year's theme, Mindspark Mystery Lab!
Here are some action steps for our Franklin Academy Fun Run to be successful:
1.) Register your child on funrun.com.
2.) Reach out to family and friends, and ask for pledges.
3.) Enter those pledges on funrun.com.
For every pledge your student receives, they will: earn prizes, help their class move higher on their Pledge-O-Meter to earn class rewards, and help their school. There is also a school-wide challenge that if we reach our school goal, the Top Pledging Class in the entire school will get to SLIME Mrs. Ellis at the Fun Run!

Parents are invited to attend the event, but will not be permitted to park on campus due to safety concerns.
