Over the weekend Franklin had a number of scouts participate in the Pinewood Derby.  The event was held at the Kent United Methodist Church.  The kids did an outstanding job making their cars and displayed incredible sportsmanship during the event.  I would like to congratulate all the scouts on a job well done.

The character trait for the month of February is Trustworthiness.  This means our students should be trustful, honest, and trustworthy in their relationships with others; model moral courage through truthful behavior; and be depended upon to do what’s right.

“Parents can only give advice or put them on the paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands” – Anne Frank

During the month of January we had many students that received an “Ask Me” sticker.  The sticker is to represent a good character.  When you see a student with an “Ask Me” sticker they should be able to explain to you why they received the sticker.  The students listed below are the students who have received it recently.

Eric Legnani, Sarrah Barazi, Cami Rankin, Nathan Montanari, Brandon Melin, Kelsie Senek, Chase Williams, Amanda Adams, Owen Snellenberger, Eddie Story, Jack Boyden, Jack Smith, Jason Ponick, Danny Hido, Talyor Brooks, Cassie Holman, Collin Schumm, Anderson Bailey, Logan Poole, Zach Holman, Dean Lenczewski, Brianna Applegate, Amr Abbassi, Josh Montanari, Maddie Holm, Hannah Bell, JaeAwnna Finnell, Aubrey Robinson, Alyssa Grissom, Maddie Graham, Ian Burkey, Dennis Dellapenna, Kaylee Raybould, Taylor Bess, Anya Ferner, Jagger Smith, Emily Loue, and Jamie West
