FMS students walked Adam's Point -a wildlife refuge managed by UNH- while in the area on their weekend trip to attend the second annual New Hampshire Wood Workers competition.

Franklin Middle School wood-shop class, headed by Kate Evans, entered the second annual New Hampshire Wood Workers Guild competition Saturday, November 2, 2024. The event was held at the University of New Hampshire. The event not only allowed students and opportunity to hone their craft, be a part of a competition which included furniture, makers and woodworkers from all over New England, including high school, students, college students, and professional craftsman, but also allowed them the opportunity to visit the UNH campus and visit some of the interesting local points of interest. Congratulations to all who entered the competition!

Red Ribbon Week in Mrs. DeGraff's Fourth Grade Class!

Today, we caught a couple of fifth graders voluntarily taking their lunch with Mr. Harrison so they could continue working on their projects. Three students were working on a bridge challenge. One student explained, "We get $12,500 fake dollars to build a bridge that holds the most hot wheels cars. We have to use our resources." Another student continued on a map project she was excited to work on. FMS fifth graders are definitely committed to learning!

Good Morning Franklin Families, Bus # 808 will be very late today. Again Bus # 808 will be very late, up to 1 hour. Thank you

Mrs. DeGraff's Fourth Graders engage in team building activities after a rigorous day of academics.

STEM Challenge at FMS today! Create a chair that can hold a stuffed toy with nothing other than 5 sheets of paper and 5 strips of tape!

Dear FMS Families: Next week, we are going to make a slight adjustment to our morning routine. Students arriving at school between 8:05 and 8:20 can either go directly to the cafeteria to get breakfast or wait outside. Students will not be allowed into the main school building to go to classrooms until 8:20 am. If students are coming in for Leadership or another meeting, that teacher will make arrangements to meet them outside and escort them in. Staff will be outside and in the cafeteria to monitor students from 8:05-8:20. In the case of inclement weather such as rain, snow or extreme cold, we will open the gym. Most days, however, we will be outside, so students should dress accordingly. No students should be arriving on campus prior to 8:05 AM as there is no adult supervision until that time. Go Hurricanes!
