Franklin Elementary School PTA

Today is the last day to drop off your Students to Seniors letters and artwork! The Franklin PTA has teamed up with the Brentwood Healthcare Facility, to bring drawings and thoughtful letters from our K-5th grade students to its residents. Your child's art can help cheer a senior's heart! There is a red and white, "touch-free" drop box located outside of Franklin's front office, swing by before all donations are collected at 2pm.

Students to Seniors initiative needs your child's drawings and letters!
