🥳 Auction Night Highlight: the Dessert Dash 🎂

Tables bid, the clock starts, and the highest bidders sprint for first pick of incredible desserts.

It’s one of the most fun moments of the night—and yes, it gets loud! Many thanks to Genevieve and Joe Boulos for their generous donations and design of the evening's beautiful cakes.

Our Pre-K students and their parents attended a Kindergarten Preview Day this morning. During the visit, Pre-K students collaborated with current Kindergarten students to create beautiful Valentine’s hearts. This special day gave parents the opportunity to meet our wonderful Kindergarten teachers, tour the classrooms, and learn more about our Kindergarten program.

Students loved crafting with their Kindergarten buddies and hearing all about the exciting adventures that await them in Kindergarten!

Nickerson & Barmann “Our children have truly thrived in the small classes, and they have thoroughly enjoyed the exposure to a STEM-based curriculum. They are frequently budding with excitement to share their latest artistic masterpiece, or about new words that have expanded their Spanish vocabulary. While the academic engagement has been high, our children have also made many new friendships. They are expanding their social-emotional skill set as they are able to be in school with peers and have wonderful mentors.”

Jesse Nickerson & Steph Barmann
Tung “At every grade level, my daughters have had a close-knit peer group that is academically strong and engaged in extracurricular activities. These friends are supportive of one another inside and outside of school. The school does a remarkable job of balancing academic rigor with holistic child education. Moral character development is an integral part of the curriculum. With a student body that is culturally and religiously diverse, we appreciate the universal humanistic values that are discussed in chapel and intertwined in the classroom.”

Tung M. Ha, DO & Dr. Kerri Fitzgerald
Balolia “We’ve been fortunate to have our girls attend The Franklin Academy for the last four. We briefly tried a preschool that was closer to home in Bow, but quickly realized we missed the quality, safety, and curriculum of The Franklin Academy. This solidified our decision to have our girls attend all the way through 8th grade.”

Shabir & Gabrielle Balolia
Hodges “Our kids went through 8th grade at The Franklin Academy. Looking back, it is easy to see what they gained. [They] got the academic foundation we expected (being on track for multiple Advanced Placement classes, being comfortable in Spanish two as a freshman, good grades, etc.). But the most important thing they gained by going to Franklin Academy may be the confidence they developed.”

Hart Hodges and Denise F. Dudley
Daughters Graduated from our 8th Grade
