Franklin Senior Center: Remains closed through Feb 24, check schedule for activities thru Feb 24; Café opens Feb 27

SENIOR CENTER CLOSED 2/21-2/24

The Franklin Senior Center is unfortunately going to be closed another week (February 20th-24th) for construction, but in the meantime we have planned a variety of programs for you at the Town Hall and Library! In better news, we will be opening the Common Grounds Café and the attached multipurpose room on the following Monday, February 27th!

The programming schedule for next week is posted on our website as well as our social media- so please take a look and join us next week. 

We are also sad to announce, our deputy director Christina LaRose will be leaving us for a wonderful opportunity for the town of Foxboro, so we will be having a goodbye party for her at the Franklin Library next Friday 2/24 at 11:30am.

Hope you all are doing well, and please reach out to us at 508-520-4945 if you have any questions or concerns! We miss you all and have a wonderful presidential weekend!

Thank you for your understanding and support

Danielle Hopkins, Franklin Senior Center Director

FHS girls and boys basketball teams post wins vs. Milford on Friday

Via HockomockSports.com and Twitter, we share the results of the winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, February 17, 2023. We also provide the link to the full set of Hockomock League results below.

Boys Basketball = Franklin, 63 @ Milford, 53 – Final


Girls Basketball = Milford, 24 @ Franklin, 58 – Final 
– Franklin had 13 different scorers, none with more than eight points, to close out the league campaign with a big win. The Panthers held Milford to just nine points in the first half, going into the locker room with a 24-point lead. Katie Peterson scored all eight of her points in the first quarter, as the Panthers scored 24 in the opening eight minutes. The Hawks would play even in the third, as Brooke Ferreira scored eight of Milford’s 10 points. She finished with a dozen on the night. Franklin’s depth was too much. The Panthers got contributions up and down the roster. Norah MacCallum scored seven, while Elle Bonacci and Kyra McSweeney each chipped in with six. Aliza Syed had five points for the Hawks, all in the first quarter.
