Reminder: The Walkathon is Tomorrow!
Thu, Oct 3 1:20pm

Hello, Franklin families!

It's official- the walkathon is tomorrow. Thankfully, the weather forecast calls for less scorching weather tomorrow and we won't see high temperatures until after noon, well after all students are back on campus.

Things to remember:

  • Make sure students wear their Walkathon tshirt
  • Put on copious amounts of sunscreen
  • Make sure your child brings a water bottle

The day's schedule is below:

Grades K-1:
  • 8:35, Students arrive with their teachers
  • 8:40,  Franklin parent leads the kids in a fun warm-up/stretch
  • 8:50-9:10, kids run/walk around the perimeter of Franklin Park
  • 9:10-9:20, kids gather at their class water table and prepare to head back to class 
Grades 2-3

  • 9:35-9:45,  warm-up and stretching

Every student should have received a walkathon t-shirt to wear to the event, and there's still time to raise funds for all of our programs here. Our goal is $40,000 and below is the classroom leaderboards.

 

 

Finally, the Walkathon would not be possible without the generous support of our community sponsors- THANK YOU!

In gratitude,

Your Franklin Elementary PTA
