Share your Snow Day Fun!
We hope this message finds you warm and safe on this snowy Sunday afternoon! Tomorrow, there will be no school, and our Franklin School custodians will be hard at work clearing sidewalks and paths to ensure a safe return on Tuesday. Please share your snow day pictures in this folder—we would love to see how the Franklin Dragons are enjoying their snow day!
