Franklin Elementary School -

Franklin School: A huge THANK YOU to our amazing PTA for treating the Franklin teachers to a specialty coffee truck for Teacher Appreciation! ☕️💙 Your thoughtfulness and support truly made our day extra special. We are so grateful for all that you do for our staff and students!

Franklin School: A little love from home! 💌
Mrs. Janz had a top secret mission for her students’ families. The families secretly sent in notes for their student to open before their fourth grade state test. The kids loved getting to open their secret letters and know their family was cheering them on!

Franklin School: The Franklin Patchwork Gardening Club this year has started working on planting hyacinth flowers in front of Franklin School. The gardeners went right to work digging and planting the bulbs into the ground. Now, every year we will have beautiful spring flowers.

The Kearny School District proudly celebrates our dedicated educators whose passion, creativity, and care empower every student to thrive—thank you for inspiring minds and shaping futures every day. 🍎 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Join us on Thursday, May 7 from 6:00-7:30 pm at Lincoln Middle School for our next Strategic Planning Meeting. For more information, including registration information, visit our Strategic Planning website: https://www.kearnyschools.com/page/strategic-planning.

Franklin School: Congratulations to our Students of the Month for April! Go Falcons!

Franklin School: Mrs. McSorley's science students created a "4th Grade Arcade" using only cardboard to create working arcade games. Then, they invited the rest of the 4th grade to come and play!

So proud of our Franklin Falcon teachers and staff for showing teamwork and school spirit at the Project Graduation volleyball tournament. Great job! 🏐👏

Ms. Zavala’s preschoolers at Franklin School wrapped up their Building Study by designing and creating their very own buildings! Students explored different types of buildings, what each one represents, and the important people who work there and help our communities every day. Special thanks to our classroom aides Ms. Maria, Ms. Danielle, for supporting our students every step of the way!

Franklin School's ABA students in Ms. Klein's class visited ShopRite today to practice navigating the store, pushing carts, and locating different food items throughout each aisle. They even scanned and bagged their items at checkout.
