Fun Friday consisted of dissecting owl pellets for science! The 2nd graders loved identifying bones, teeth, and skulls of other animals.




The Jr. High and High School Bands took advantage of the cool weather to get some marching practice in today. Both bands will march at the UNK Homecoming Parade on October 30th and the High School Band will also march at the Harvest of Harmony Parade on October 7th.








TODAY: FCA Devotional at 7:30 am in Mrs. McDonald's room; XC at Geneva; VB @ Franklin. Marching band during 6th prd.

3rd grade had our first ESU Science lesson with Patrick this week! We investigated dry ice and got to taste some dry ice root beer!



CHANGE IN GAME TIME: There will be a 4:30 PM start for the game on Friday v Kenesaw in Deshler due to a lighting issue on the field. The meal deal will still be served by FFA, and the chamber will still serve the teams a meal after the game. Gates will open at 3:30 PM.

Come and cheer on the Lady Dragons in Franklin! First serve is at 5 against the Flyers and vs. the Blue Devils at 6!

SENIORS: This is your reminder to get your resumes polished, your letters of recommendation requested, and start applying for those scholarships.
All seniors should be applying for the Elks Most Valuable Scholarship.
