Last week, the Franklin staff had the opportunity to enjoy an inspiring and FUN presentation from speaker and artist Jason Kotecki!

Jason reminded us about the importance of escaping “adultitis” a serious, stressful mindset that can sometimes take over when we get caught up in the day-to-day demands of being an adult. He encouraged us to have more fun, embrace creativity, play, laugh, and remember the things that bring us joy.

Thank you, Jason, for helping us laugh, think differently, and reconnect with our playful side! We’re excited to bring some of that energy and fun back into our classrooms. Escape Adulthood

🐯What a special Friday in First Grade! 🐯

Our first graders were so excited to have a special visit from Daniel Tiger this past Friday!

Daniel reminded us just how important reading is and encouraged us to keep growing our love for books. Even better, every student got to take home a FREE book to enjoy!

A big thank you to Read More Oshkosh who helped make this special experience possible!
