Next Friday is “Day for Dolly!” Wear bright colors and bring a book to read in her memory.

Dear Franklin Families,

This week, we celebrate the joy of reading and the lifelong love of books. We are especially grateful for the many people who have helped children discover the magic of stories, including Dolly Parton, lovingly known to millions of children as the “Book Lady.”

Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Dolly helped place books into the hands and homes of children around the world. Her generosity encouraged generations of young people to read, learn, dream big, and care for others.

On Friday, September 4, Franklin Elementary will celebrate a “Day for Dolly” in honor of her love of children, literacy, kindness, and big dreams.

Students and staff are invited to wear country-inspired clothing, such as cowboy boots, cowboy hats, fringe, or other school-appropriate country-style items. Please remember that all clothing must follow the school dress code. Weapons, toy weapons, and costumes are not allowed.

Throughout the day, students will enjoy special reading time, share their favorite books and stories, reflect on their dreams for the future, and be challenged to show kindness to someone else. Each child will also bring home a free book to enjoy with their family. Our celebration will focus on the values Dolly modeled so beautifully: Dream More. Learn More. Care More. Be More.

We hope this will be a joyful and meaningful opportunity for our Bulldogs to celebrate reading, honor the “Book Lady,” and remember the difference that books, kindness, and imagination can make.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the joy of reading and the love of books.

Let’s help them reach goal! It took me about 10 minutes to set up my child’s account, send to 10 people, and browse the catalog for items.

Our big fundraiser starts in a few days! Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 to purchase teacher mobile tablets to work with interactive panels, more walkie talkies to increase safety, Science supplies for our new science classroom lab, teacher supplies, campus beautification, and other rewards and activities for our students throughout the year.

We are asking ALL parents to pre-register their student(s) here:
https://www.shopfund.com/parentregister
Make sure you use Group Code: YGGXF

Please get at least one person to support our fundraiser before our official kick-off day. Any student that is registered and adds 10 contacts will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win over 1,000 prizes, PLUS two awesome registration prizes that will be delivered in person next week!How cool would it be if we took a chunk out of our goal BEFORE the fundraiser even starts?

Thank you so much for your help!
