💙 THANK YOU, FRANKLIN COMMUNITY! 💛

We’re so grateful for the incredible support and generosity of our Franklin families! Thanks to you, we exceeded our fundraising goal — and CARNIVAL IS COMING BACK THIS SPRING! 🎉🎡 A heartfelt thank-you to our generous donors and the 58 amazing volunteers who made the obstacle course fundraiser such a success!

We’ve also raised approximately $1,700 toward 5th grade camp and are hoping to raise even more to help make camp more affordable for our students. Thank you for showing up for our kids and helping create special memories they’ll cherish for years to come. We’re lucky to have such a caring community!
