Dear Franklin families,

Registration and fundraising for the Pop & Walk 2024, Franklin's 9th Annual Walkathon, is officially OPEN!

On Friday, October 4th, Franklin students will walk the perimeter of Franklin Park to raise money to help support the many programs and activities that our PTA funds, including a Reading intervention specialist, teacher supplies, and community events such as the Back to School Ice Cream Social, Spooktacular, and Year End Picnics.

Please help us reach our school goal of $40,000.

Every student will receive a Walkathon t-shirt to wear to the event. Register or re-log into your parent account here; Our school's identifier is 5d6e80fdd67a4. Donations are also accepted by checks made out to the Franklin Elementary PTA (don’t forget to write your student’s name) and dropped off with Ms. Erin in the office. This year we also have a PayPal option, please donate via a bank account to avoid fees.
