Franklin Classical School

Each year, we celebrate the end of the school year with a fun, school-wide event called the End of Year Bash. It’s always a memorable time for our families, students, and staff to come together for fellowship and activities. Our PTO planned a fantastic evening filled with bounce houses, food trucks, popsicles, and bubbles!

We concluded the event with our annual Upper Division Girls’ Powder Puff game. We were all holding our breath as the teams tied the game in the final minute. Congratulations to the Blueberries on their overtime victory!

On this “Student Spotlight”, we congratulate Donivan Hotchkiss, class of 2026, for scoring high enough on the ASVAB to be accepted to the Air Force Space Force. Due to his high score, Donivan will be able to choose from among a top tier of job opportunities. We are so proud of you, Donivan!

Today is the FINAL DAY to register for the Steven Curtis Chapman Scholarship Dinner at Southall Farm and Inn! If you aren’t able to attend but still want to support families in need of tuition assistance, there is a place to give any amount directly through the event page under the registration options.

When Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as Governor of California in 1967, he said the now-famous quote, “Freedom is a fragile thing, and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Today, on Memorial Day, we honor the valiant men and women who died in military service to our nation. We are deeply grateful to the generations past and present who sacrificed their lives so that we, as Americans, may continue to enjoy our unique and enduring freedoms!

As graduation nears, our students have been soaking up these last days with our senior class. From yearbook parties and multiplication drills to playing outside- we’ve cherished these moments of connection with a class that has poured out so much support and leadership to our student body!

Our grammar students wrapped up the 4th quarter of PE with a dynamic pickleball unit!

They’ve spent meaningful time building skills and confidence over the past few months. The students worked on:

-Dynamic warm-ups and game
readiness
-Core fundamentals and key
movements
-Volleying and controlled dinking
-Court awareness, including
understanding areas to avoid—like
the kitchen

They also added some fun twists with 4-square pickleball and our popular “Crowned” King and Queen of the Court games.

It was a joy to see the students grow in both skill and sportsmanship! The pickleball unit concluded with the final and most exciting event: Ultimate King & Queen
of the Court—complete with crowns!

Our Upper Division students memorized the first 18 lines of the prologue to The Canterbury Tales in Middle English. Today, we held a competition for the best recitation. Adam Brewer won first place, Bryce Flatt won second, and Lydia Jenkins won third. The prize was a rooster statue in honor of Chanticleer, one of the characters in the tales.

At a recent Knight Crew event, our 4th and 5th grade classes performed in a talent show! We enjoyed beautiful dance routines, piano solos, a ca****la performances, comedy acts, and a girls’ vocal trio. The students did an amazing job showcasing their talents and entertaining the audience.
