The Book Fair Checklist will help you with what you need to get done for the Fair!

Last night the Farmington School District Counseling Advisory Committee met to discuss the work being done to support students across the district. Washington Franklin was proud to be represented by our counselor, Mrs. Brooke McDaniel, who shared about student attendance and the efforts in our building to help students succeed. We are grateful for the dedication of our counselors who support and advocate for students and families each day. 🖤💛

✨📚Our LAST Read Across America Week Spotlight!📚✨

We’re bringing it home with our very own librarian, Ms. Gilliam! While she says it’s impossible to pick just one favorite book, one of her favorites is The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. This childhood favorite was a repeat bedtime story and is still one she returns to when she needs a reminder that strength and courage can help you accomplish the things you truly want!

Thank you for coming along with us on this Book Spotlight series during Read Across America Week! We hope you found at least one title to add to your reading list! As always, reach out to Ms. Gilliam if you or your student need recommendations!

Lost in pages. Found in stories. 📚✨ Reading isn’t just something we do, it’s somewhere we go. During Read Across America Week, we’re celebrating the quiet magic of turning pages, growing imaginations, and falling in love with stories that stay with us long after the book closes. 💙🧡 thank you for celebrating with us this week!
