Franklin Parent Teacher Association











Dear Franklin Parents,

Welcome to Franklin School! As the year begins, filled with hope and opportunity, all of us at Franklin PTA extend a warm welcome to you.

Franklin School is a community based on vibrant parent involvement. Your participation will help shape the educational environment not only for your children but for all our children at Franklin. Whether it's your time, your knowledge, or your resources, your contribution is vital and valued. We personally invite you to become an involved member of the Franklin family and help us once again celebrate our theme:
Franklin – Enriching Ourselves and Our Community.

Please help in any way you can, and show your children the importance you place on their education! We look forward to getting to know you and hope youÕll join us at our monthly PTA meetings, which are held on the first Wednesday of each month. Child care for children in K through 5 is provided at no cost during our evening meetings in our school library.

Here is to a terrific 2008-09 school year!
Thank you for caring,

Nancy Patel and Felicia Paik Kim, PTA Co-Presidents
Franklin's Parent Teacher Association membership is open to all. The annual cost of $7 per person gives members an official voice, a vote. Franklin's PTA provides its parents, teachers and staff a conduit for information, education and action to benefit Franklin Elementary School and the welfare of its children.

Franklin's PTA also provides fundraising efforts which support Franklin School's exceptional education program. PTA's fundraising, together with our dedicated and talented volunteer base, allows for a remarkable array of children's programs, resources and benefits which would otherwise not be realized if we relied only on funding from the City and State.

Come to our PTA meetings and learn about your child's education and how you can enhance it! Your PTA officers, principal, and others provide reports and timely topics. Special guest speakers are announced.

During the evening PTA meetings, care for school-age children is available free in the library.
