Hello Franklin Falcon families! We’ve set a goal to create a community of lifesavers by getting everyone to complete Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, Hands-Only CPR can double (or even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, complete Finn’s Mission today to learn this lifesaving skill and earn special thank-you gifts. Any student who completes Finn's Mission will have their name put into a drawing to pie Ms. Carpenter in the face.

On Friday, February 13, we hosted a Top Secret Event for all students who were in attendance! 🤫✨🦅

Students worked on glow artwork that will be displayed during our upcoming Glow STEAM Event on February 26. Each grade level was assigned a different decoration project, but every piece was created using glow paint under glow lights. 🎨💡

It was an enjoyable and neato, peaceful, far out, groovy, rad, fly, sweet time for everyone! 😎🌟
