In a culmination of learning during PSS Summer school the teachers and students embraced the spirit of the Olympics! The students used their writing, math, organizational and communication skills to create and host a curb side Parisian cafe. The students and teachers baked and served many yummy French pastries! Patrons paid their bill using Euros. What a great learning experience for PSS students! Well done everyone!
The start of the school year is right around the corner. If you have a student entering kindergarten in September and have not yet finished the registration process in Alma Start please do so as soon as possible. If you need help with this please contact Ms. Fournier at nfournier@gm.sau18.org or 603-934-4144.

Dear Franklin Families,
With the impending hot weather we will be shortening the school schedules starting tomorrow for the remainder of the week.
The elementary school will dismiss students at 11:00 tomorrow through Friday. The middle school will dismiss students at 12:00 tomorrow through Friday. The high school will dismiss students at 12:15 tomorrow through Friday.
I apologize for the inconvenience but do not want students in classrooms in the afternoon when the temperatures reach their peak. I hope the students enjoy the last week of school.
Sincerely,
Dan LeGallo

Dear Franklin Families,
I am excited to invite you to our 100th year of Class Day Parades this Thursday commencing promptly at 12:30! The parade route starts at Franklin High School and travels down Central Street to Grevior’s Furniture and turns around and travels back to the high school. Middle school students will travel back to West Bow Street and board buses to return back to the middle school. All other parade participants will end at the high school.
All students and staff will be wearing a commemorative t-shirt that will be distributed Thursday morning. We have extra shirts on sale for $20 a piece if you are interested in purchasing one. Please feel free to stop by the SAU if you are interested.
As this is the 100th anniversary of the parade we have over 600 alumni participating including a member of the Class of 1948! Thank you to Kathy Fuller for energizing and organizing the alumni.
We expect a big crowd so please plan on arriving early to get a great spot for this historic event for the School District and City of Franklin!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

PSS grade 1 students who are learning about the ocean had a visit from a University of New Hampshire researcher and graduate student today. Rachel is studying Marine Bioacoustics. She shared recordings of humpback whales obtained by UNH researchers. Grade 1 students asked amazing questions about how whales make their sounds and how sound travels under water. It was a fascinating learning experience for the students.

Dear Franklin Families,
I am pleased to share with you an incredible act of kindness. Brenda Petelle, Food Service Director, and I met with a gentleman yesterday who donated $10,000 to Food Service to pay off all the student lunch balances in the district! The donor wishes to stay anonymous.
Student balances will be updated in the next week or so to reflect this generous donation. I hope this news brings a bit of relief to our families during these difficult economic times.
Sincerely,
Dan :)
