Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines [K-8]'s International Baccalaureate

Franklin Academy - Pembroke Pines has been designated an International Baccalaureate® (IB) World School. We are proud to offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Years 1, 2 and 3. As a part of an organization that aims to change the world through education, our MYP students will learn more than curriculum content. They will become thoughtful, intentional and active members of our local and global communities, working to make a better world through understanding of their own and others’ cultures, while respecting and appreciating the differences amongst us. IB programmes are highly regarded around the world.

Service as Action is an important part of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP). Each school year, MYP students are expected to complete one Service as Action project per semester. These projects give students the opportunity to help others, get involved in their community, and make a positive difference in the world around them. Please note that Service as Action is part of the student’s grade in their Individuals & Societies class.

We have come across a great opportunity to earn your Service as Action for semester 2 through Sunrise Walks South Florida, a charitable event supporting Sunrise Day Camp and Sunrise Programs, which provide free summer day camp and year-round programs for children with cancer and their siblings.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students to earn service hours, get involved locally, and make a real difference in the lives of children and families facing pediatric cancer.

Event Details:

• Setup Day: Saturday, January 31, 2026

• Event Day: Sunday, February 1, 2026

• Location: Nova Southeastern University

Volunteers will assist with event setup, cheer on walkers, help with activities, and support event operations. Every role helps create a joyful, supportive environment for families — reminding them they are not alone.

Why Sunrise Programs Matter:

Sunrise Programs bring joy, friendship, and hope to children with cancer and their siblings through completely free summer day camp and in-hospital programming. The Sunrise Walk raises critical funds to ensure these programs remain accessible to families who need them most.

Students who volunteer will gain:

• Verified community service hours

• Hands-on volunteer experience

• The opportunity to support children and families in our community

• A chance to be part of an inspiring and uplifting event
