The TFA Business Fair, held this week, was a remarkable event that showcased the entrepreneurial spirit of over fifty 2nd to 8th-grade students. The fair allowed these students to develop unique products and sell them to their peers and visitors.
Each participant had a booth displaying their 20 items available for sale. To facilitate transactions, the students used a currency called "Franklin Bucks," which were provided to them. Each student received $20 in Franklin Bucks to purchase items from their classmates. The prices of the products varied, with some items costing as little as $1 and others priced at over $10.
The fair served as a platform for the students to showcase their creativity, entrepreneurship, and business skills. It allowed them to experience the process of developing a product and provided valuable lessons in marketing, sales, and customer interaction. The buzzing conversations and enthusiastic exchanges of Franklin Bucks created a vibrant and engaging environment throughout the fair.

Early Kindergarten students participated in the Pond Habitat Beaver Lodge STEM Challenge. Students learned about beaver ponds and how they create wetlands which are among the most biologically productive ecosystems in the world. The student took a hands-on approach by building their own pond and learning that beaver ponds increase plant, bird, and wildlife variety, improve water quality, and raise salmon and trout populations. Ducks, frogs, and turtles are just a few of the species that benefit from the deep and wide waterways that beavers create. So, it became time to Think Like a Beaver!

Wednesday, Robin Hall students celebrated mothers, grandmothers, and special guests at Franklin's Annual Mother's Day Tea. Students from preschool - 1st grade sang songs of love and appreciation to their special guests and then shared delicious cookies and tea.
The event is a highlight for Franklin Academy, a time to show our gratitude to our mothers et al. and how much their children love them.
Happy Mother's Day!

I found one of my mothers day tea hats the other day in a bin when I was cleaning our store room- I am not sure which kid or which year but it was between 12-15 yrs old and just as adorable as ever. 🙂
The Franklin Academy hosted Family Fun Night last Friday. So many fun activities took place; bouncy house, bull riding, face painting, games, great prizes, cotton candy, and more! We want to thank PALS and volunteers for their hard work, the event was fantastic, and the students had a blast! We appreciate all the families who attended and hope you all had a wonderful time!

Grandparents and Special Friend's Day!
The Franklin Academy hosted approximately 350 Special Friends and Grandparents.
Preschool - 8th-grade students showcased their talents by singing, reading in Spanish, and sharing stories about sports. Guests were also visited by robots students built and programmed themselves.
Grandparents filled the hallways and classrooms as they followed their student(s) around for the morning. Students enjoyed sharing their daily routines with their special guests.
A delightful day for all!
