Students in both classes worked together throughout this year and wrote their own poems. The fifth-grade program is today at 9 a.m. for parents and kindergartners and 10 a.m. for the rest of the student body. The ''Made in the USA'' theme will include songs from Dixieland Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll, Country and Broadway and end with a couple of patriotic songs. The students have worked really hard on learning the songs and learning some dance steps taught to them by P.E. teacher Ginger Sweeney. Not to leave kindergarten out of the Friday fun, this is Kindergarten's Rodeo Carnival Day in honor of Franklin's Rodeo.
Students dress up as cowboys and cowgirls, play games and have treats, face painting and prizes.
Parents are invited to come to all events. Featured books will be from the summer reading list for kindergarten through sixth grades. Students can purchase books during library time or before or after school. The parent volunteer breakfast is this morning in the cafeteria. The teachers and staff would like to thank all our parent volunteers.
