Agenda for this session -> https://www.franklinma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif10036/f/events/fps_meeting_1.pdf
Quick recap:
- School committee voted to continue their leadership team. Griffin was nominated as well as Callaghan for Chair but Callaghan prevailed with a 5-2 (Griffin, Gallagher) vote. McNeill continues as Vice-Chair by a 7-0 vote. Both votes via roll call
- Announcement of MASS student awards for Ella Mahoney and Noah Gorgas

- Update on the district reorganization From Colin & Lucas
- 29 of the 54 possible students for the DT exemption committed to do so, Staff placement being worked, All dependent upon the budget
- Pond St facility (former Kennedy school) would be the site for an expansion for the ECDC not a replacement of, ECDC was purpose built and will remain, but expanding capacity by using space at Pond St is what is being planned
- Clarification on ECDC expansion, it would be done in phases, the focus is to provide the education space for ECDC population, which is growing, and we won't be able to utilize the Middle school space we have used at Horace Mann
- Key stat 97% of the K-5 teachers got their first choice. There is the plus one for 2nd at North and down one on South so it is budget neutral not a $75K cost as might have been in worst case

2024 HockomockSports.com Girls Lacrosse Awards recognize MacCallum, Consigli, Grasso, & Flynn
2024 HockomockSports.com Girls Lacrosse Awards recognize the following Franklin High School athletes:
Norah MacCallum – Franklin – Defense
Franklin senior defender Norah MacCallum was the leader of the back line all season for the Panthers, helping them secure a 14th straight league title and extend the program’s Hockomock League win streak to 122 games (dating back to the 2012 season). MacCallum finished the season with 21 ground balls and caused 30 turnovers. The Panthers were second in the Hock, allowing just 159 goals in 22 games (a little over seven per game) despite playing some of the best teams in the state. MacCallum was selected as an all-star by the league’s coaches. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “Norah was the backbone and leader of our defense. She played a key role in our zone this year and really excelled at getting us the ball back.”
Gabi Consigli – Franklin – Attack/Midfield
Franklin junior attacker Gabi Consigli made a big leap this spring and became one of the most consistent attacking threats for the Panthers, helping them bring home a 14th consecutive league title and extend a decade-long league win streak to 122 games. Consigli was one of the team leaders in goals (30), assists (24), and total points (54), as Franklin revamped its attacking unit with several new faces this spring and, despite facing tough competition all season, averaged nearly 10 goals per game. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “Gabi was a solid attacker for us this year. She made big strides from her sophomore year to this year, and did a nice job setting up her teammates.”
Maeve Grasso – Franklin – Defense
Franklin junior defender Maeve Grasso put in a solid season in the heart of the back line, a crucial part of the Panthers clinching a 14th straight league title and extending their decade-long league win streak to 122 games. Grasso had 16 ground balls and caused seven turnovers this season for the Panthers, who allowed a little more than seven goals per game despite a difficult non-league schedule. The Panthers allowed 159 goals in 22 games, which was second-fewest in the Hock. Grasso was an honorable mention for league all-star. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “I was excited to see Maeve on this list because our defense was really our strong point this year. Maeve might not have a ton of stats, but without her intelligence, communication, and leadership, our defense would not have worked.”
Julia Flynn – Franklin – Midfield
Franklin junior Julia Flynn excelled in a much larger role in the Panthers midfield this season, showing off an all-around game that was crucial to Franklin winning a 14th consecutive league title and extending its remarkable league win streak to 122 games. Flynn filled up the stat sheet this season. She scored 37 goals and dished out 13 assists, scooped up 28 ground balls, forced 15 turnovers, and collected 92 draw controls. She was selected as an all-star by the league’s coaches. Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said, “Julia had a breakout year as a midfielder. We asked her to do more roles than ever before, and she delivered. She is one of the fiercest competitors I have ever coached and I am looking forward to seeing what she can do next season.”

2024 HockomockSports Baseball Awards recognizes FHS' Cinelli, Caccavelli & Campbell
2024 HockomockSports.com Baseball Awards recognize the following Franklin High School athletes:
Rex Cinelli – Franklin – Outfield
Franklin senior Rex Cinelli wrapped up a tremendous athletic career with a strong final spring. Cinelli, who earned HockomockSports.com Player of the Year in the fall for boys soccer, was a great leader for the Panthers this spring, who reached the tournament yet again. Defensively, he was reliable and covered a lot of ground in center field. Offensively, he had 26 hits and finished with a 0.342 batting average, including a pair of doubles, along with 10 RBI, 12 runs, seven walks, and 11 stolen bases. “Rex has been a two-year starter, batted in the middle of our lineup, and was our most consistent run producer,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “He was an elite defender in center field, but more importantly he’s a tireless worker and a great leader.”
Dom Caccavelli – Franklin – Infield
Franklin senior Dom Caccavelli ended his high school career on a high note, emerging into a key piece for the Panthers this season. Caccavelli provided strong defense while playing at second base and primarily hit second in the lineup, helping set the table for Franklin’s offense. During the 2024 season, he hit 0.328 on 19 hits, including a pair of hits. He scored 18 runs and drove in seven runs, also drawing 13 walks and stealing 13 bases. “Dom is a worker and leader and maximized his ability,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “He’s always been steady defensively but this year he made significant strides offensively and led our team in runs scored, stolen bases, and walks. Dom really had a great all-around senior season.”
Austin Campbell – Franklin – Pitcher
Franklin senior Austin Campbell was one of the toughest pitchers to have success against this year and helped the Panthers get back to the state tournament yet again this season. His record (3-5) was not indicative of his dominance on the mound this year as he led the Hockomock League with 88 strikeouts, allowing a total of just 31 hits and 17 earned runs. He finished his senior season with a 2.13 ERA. “Austin has tremendous stuff on the hill,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “Which is evident by his high strikeout totals and low hit totals. Austin is a great competitor who always wants the ball in big games and big spots. He will be greatly missed.”

"The work has to be the win"
FANNtastic story!
"On the 27th straight day of filming “Forrest Gump,” Tom Hanks was tired & worried. During a scene on the famous park bench, Hanks stopped & said to director Bob Zemeckis, “Hey, Bob…is anybody going to care about this movie? I don’t think anybody’s going to care.” Bob replied, “It’s a minefield, Tom. You never know what’s good…It’s a minefield! It’s a goddam minefield! We may be sowing the seeds of our own destruction.” Tom Hanks told this story after he was asked, “When I ask for a memory from your career, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?” He said that what Zemeckis said was true of every movie he’s worked on: “There’s never any guarantee...You do not know if it is going to work out.” Takeaway 1: Hanks is the 5th-most highest-grossing actor of all time. And yet, the stickiest memory of his career is the feeling of uncertainty. Rarer than talent or work ethic, the poet John Keats wrote, is the ability to step into and push through doubts and uncertainties. In 1817, Keats wrote a letter to his brothers to share this exciting realization. “At once it struck me,” Keats wrote, “what quality went to form a Man of Achievement … Negative Capability.” Keats explains that “Negative Capability” is “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” Takeaway 2: Those who possess Negative Capability, who can sit with uncertainty, who can spend months or years in the minefield that is working on something while knowing that there is a real possibility no one will care about it—they often possess another quality. They do what they do, not as a means to some end (money, fame, awards, etc.), but for the sake of doing it. When asked about one of his movies that commercially failed, Hanks said, "I loved making that movie. I loved writing it, I loved being with it. I love all the people in it." As Ryan Holiday once told me, "The work has to be the win." You control the effort, he says, not the results. "So ultimately, you have to love doing it. You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.” - - - “Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get.” — Forrest Gump Follow for more content like this!
