Franklin Annual Report - 2018: Town Administrator |
"At 8:18 p.m., all the shouting, banging and stomping at Veterans Memorial Skating Rink halted.
Young men in blue and white uniforms skating in circles and slamming pucks at their goal lined up, facing their opposition in silence. For a few brief moments, only the sound of bagpipes honoring fallen soldier Robert Ryan Pirelli could be heard.
Following Gov. Deval Patrick's approval Friday, the town renamed the arena last night at the final Panthers home game of the season in memory of Staff Sgt. Pirelli, a former Panther hockey player who was killed by enemy fire in Iraq last year."

FHS Student Representative Comments
"The Franklin Downtown Partnership (FDP) has set the dates for its 2019 events and meetings.
The annual Strawberry Stroll will be held on Friday, June 14 from 4 to 8 p.m., with a rain date of Saturday, June 15. In past years, the Strawberry Stroll has been held a week before but the date was moved since Franklin High School graduation will be held on June 7.
“Last year we held the Strawberry Stroll on a Friday rather than a Thursday, as had been our tradition,” said Partnership Executive Director Lisa Piana. “The response was overwhelmingly positive and we had the biggest crowd ever. Based on that outcome, we’re continuing to hold the stroll on a Friday when it’s more convenient for families.”
Networking breakfasts, held in the Dean College Dining Center, are scheduled for March 22 and April 12. FDP members are invited to drop in between 8 and 9 a.m. and network, interact with other members, and enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal."

Huge 4-3 win on the road vs. Rhode Island’s top team @LsaMensHockey. Boys came back from multiple deficits with goals coming from Elliott, Magazu, Lizotte and Holmes with the GWG.
