We’re thrilled to announce that the students of Francestown Elementary School won the town’s annual scarecrow contest!

To celebrate this achievement, the Francestown Recreation Department is hosting an ice cream social. The celebration will take place during our next community lunch on November 22nd, from 12:00-12:30 PM. We invite families to join us in recognizing the students' hard work and enjoying a sweet treat together.

Congratulations, Francestown Elementary School students! Thank you to Laura Mafera for helping to provide supplies.

Can you guess who came to visit?

Last year, we read a total of 4,422 minutes during our month-long celebration of literacy. This year, we’re taking our reading adventure to “Camp Read-a-Lot”! Students are recording their reading minutes both at school and at home. You can track your minutes online on our read-a-thon website or using the paper sent home. I wonder how many more minutes we can read this year!

Francestown Elementary School has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!

Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.

Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday, October 7, 2024.

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.

We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323831343236/1 and following the simple instructions.

We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.

Part of our Month of Literacy is to keep track of the number of minutes and books read. Please consider using the reading log sent home or logging minutes online. We announce the total number of minutes read everyday! You do not have to donate to participate!

We hope EVERYONE participates.

Thanks so much,

Francestown Elementary School

Students in kindergarten have been enjoying being able to read with their book buddies from 3/4! This morning during our first drop everything and read students got an extra surprise chance to read with the big kids.

This week, 1st and 2nd graders mastered their goods and services skills. They ended their unit with a cut and paste craft to show the difference between goods and services.

This week the 3/4 class went on a field trip to the Statehouse and the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center! Students got to learn about New Hampshire's government and history and they got the opportunity to explore some hands on experiments at the discovery center.
