In the News: Sep 8 turnout, FDP plans Gala, Principal Peri ready for FHS new year

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"With few contested races across the region, area town clerks anticipate a light turnout for next month’s state primary, but some candidates are hopeful lots of voters will cast their ballots Thursday, Sept. 8. 
Across MetroWest, only a handful of contested races will appear on voters’ ballots. In the 7th Middlesex District, Phil Jack, Jack Lewis and Brett Walker are vying to represent the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives. The winner will face Republican Yolanda Greaves in the general election."

"It was just short of a week before the start of school, and new Principal Paul Peri was walking the halls of Franklin High School, stopping to talk and joke with students preparing for tests, football players taking part in early practices and alumni readying the building for the school year. 
He had to be careful of where he walked, however - a complete cleaning of the building was in progress, and parts of the first floor were still being scrubbed down. 
Peri is excited - though he admits to a few "pregame jitters" - as he prepares for his first year at the helm of the school, which officially commences Tuesday. He said he's inspired by the sheer number of opportunities available."
