Franklin County R-II School

A reminder for our families to join us on Tuesday night for Family Reading Night at 6:00 p.m.

Our 7th grade students have been busy teaching our 4th graders sign language to a song for their upcoming concert. What a fun learning experience! A big thank you to Mrs. Meyer and Miss. Clifton for making this opportunity possible.

All students at Franklin County R-II were rewarded with pizza from the New Haven Police Department in recognition of their generosity during our latest food drive hosted by the NHPD to benefit our local food pantry. It was delicious and greatly appreciated by our students. A big thank you for all that the NHPD does for our students.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is in full swing! If you haven’t loaded your student’s e-wallet, you can do so on our school’s fair website. Students may shop during their library time or at another convenient time. The final chance to shop is Family Reading Night on Tuesday, November 25, from 5:30–7:00 p.m. Happy shopping!

What an amazing first quarter rewards assembly we had! Congratulations to everyone who achieved perfect attendance, reached their AR reading goals, and made the honor roll—both B and A! 🎓 We also celebrated our character shout outs, by drawing winners who will enjoy a special lunch from the Ice Cream Shoppe next week. 🍦 We had 91 shout outs! A big shout out to all our students for working so hard on showing respect and responsibility for 1st quarter! As we look forward to the second quarter, our character words are **acceptance** and **confidence**—we will continue to strive to show respect and responsibility, while adding in our two new character words. And the highlight of the day? The exciting announcement of our musical production for this year: Shrek! We can’t wait to see all the talent on display. Here’s to a fantastic second quarter ahead!
