Good afternoon Franklin Families, We had a small fire in the home economics room at the middle school this afternoon at approximately 12:50 PM. The school was evacuated for approximately 20 minutes while the Franklin Fire department responded to the incident. The students and staff were moved into the gymnasium while the fire department continued their clean up work in the home economics room. The main floor students returned to their classrooms at 1:45. The lower level floor students were cleared to return to their classrooms at 2:00. We are grateful to the fire department for their swift response to this incident. I would also like to commend the students for their excellent behavior during the incident. Sincerely, Dan LeGallo SAU 18 Superintendent
