Weekly News
This week staff and students returned from winter break wearing shirts displaying a positive message on Tuesday 1.6 to start the new year off strong. Our School Climate Team sent out thank you cards on Monday, 1.5 for our students to work on writing them this week to hand them to Twp. of Franklin officers, as we honor them on Friday 1.9 for Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. December Main Road Mustangs displaying Gratitude were honored this week as well, with their picture posted on our website. Students displaying their artistic abilities for the month of December were chosen as Artists of the Month. Students enjoyed getting fist bumps from Twp of Franklin Police Officers and handing them handwritten thank you cards!
For January, the core value that aligns with Main Road School is Empathy. Students will earn Inverso Incentive dollars this month by showing empathy. These dollars will be cashed in weekly during their lunch at the Inverso Emporium.
