New News
  • PTO Ice Cream Social: Monday June 1st 5:30-7 at Brittingham Park. Come enjoy an evening of playground fun with Franklin-Randall students, caregivers & school community. Pack a blanket/chairs and come dance and play to the sounds of Mr. Moffit’s band The N’achos! The PTO will be providing free ice cream sandwiches for all (one treat/person while supplies last). There will not be food for sale this year, so you might consider packing a picnic dinner. It’s a great way to celebrate our whole Franklin/Randall Community. There will be no make up/rain date.  Please watch for updates on cancelation in case of rain.  Hope to see you there!
  • "Evento de helados del PTO: Lunes 1 de junio, de 5:30 a 7:00 p. m., en el parque Brittingham. Vengan a disfrutar de una tarde de diversión en el área de juegos junto a los estudiantes de Franklin-Randall, sus cuidadores y toda la comunidad escolar. ¡Traigan una manta o sillas, y vengan a bailar y jugar al ritmo de la banda del Sr. Moffit: *The N’achos*! El PTO ofrecerá sándwiches de helado gratuitos para todos (una unidad por persona, hasta agotar existencias). Este año no habrá comida a la venta, por lo que les sugerimos considerar traer su propia cena tipo pícnic. Es una excelente manera de celebrar a toda nuestra comunidad de Franklin/Randall. No se programará una fecha alternativa en caso de lluvia; por favor, manténganse atentos a las actualizaciones sobre posibles cancelaciones en caso de lluvia. ¡Esperamos verlos allí!

  • IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR LAKE KEGONSA TRIP:

    • If you did not order a school lunch, please remember to send one for your child.

    • If you did order a lunch through the school, your child will still need a water bottle as there are no coolers to keep the milk cold.

    • WE SUGGEST AT LEAST 2 WATER BOTTLES IN CASE THERE IS NOT RUNNING WATER AT THE PARK!!! No glass containers, please.
