Franklin TV: Pluck -A- Ducky!

Strawberry Stroll was totally ducky!

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 06/15/2025

We set records at Strawberry Stroll. Our ‘Pluck-a-Ducky’ game was a big hit. Kiddies won 400 duckys and 20 wfpr.fm radios. We were so busy that we ran out of duckys by 6:30. Wow!! Slammin’! We did not see that coming.

Franklin TV: Pluck -A- Ducky!

At our busiest point the line to play our Ducky game was 12-15 kiddies long. Everyone who played won at least one ducky – and had a great time playing.

Watching little tykes grappling for duckys With serious concentration – ‘cute overload’.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.
Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.

School Committee reluctantly approves personnel & funding cuts to FY 2026 budget (video)

The Franklin (MA) School Committee met as scheduled on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. 6 members participated, 1 remotely, 1 did not (although has participated in the prior Budget subcommittee meeting).

Quick recap:

A brief executive session was held before approving the new teacher contract for a 3 year term. Details of the amount approved were not shared, however, members of the negotiation subcommittee spoke highly of the collaboration and cooperation that resulted in a good deal for the district and the Town. The vote was unanimous and included Town Administrator Jamie Hellen (7-0-1) (1 absent)
The budget adjustment reducing the proposed budget by $2M was previewed in a subcommittee meeting before the full committee meeting. 12 personnel are added to the 29 that were reduced by redistricting. Additional expenses were cut to bring the budget into balance per revised Town funding due to the failed override
Bus fee will remain at $387, Sports fees will remain high at this year's levels for next year. A full analysis of the fees and participation will be conducted next year as part of the FY 2027 budget to see what can be done given the lower funding from the Town
The Superintendent evaluation was approved as "Exemplary". A fair results given the multiple threads of work, budget, override, redistricting and oh, conducting school for the district at the same time

FHS baseball drops 1 run game to KP to end playoff run

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports playoff results for Franklin High School on Monday, June 9, 2025

Baseball = Division 1

#12 Franklin, 1 @ #4 King Philip, 2 – Final

Franklin TV video for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Mzrnp_Ez0

"The night before Monday’s Div. 1 quarterfinal against rival Franklin at Lombard Field, senior Alex Lutfy dreamed of coming to the plate with the game on the line and delivering the game-winning hit.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, that dream came true.

Catcher Leo Dowling singled to left with one out in the seventh. Courtesy runner Collin Hasenfus advanced to second on a Vinny Menendez bunt and took third on a wild pitch. Franklin reliever DJ Silverstein intentionally walked Drew Herlin and, after falling behind in the count, Aiden Astorino to load the bases.

Lutfy walked to the plate with two of KP’s three hits in the game. He went with a pitch, driving it to deep left and just out of the reach of Franklin left fielder Owen Pennini. The ball bounced up against the fence for a game-winning, walk-off single that secured a 2-1 win (KP’s third one-run win against the Panthers this season) and a third Final Four appearance in the last four years."
