Why are there multiple calendars?

There is a Cultural events calendar upon which other community events are layered to create the Community calendar.

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:

Franklin Democratic Town Committee Passes Resolution in Support of the Make Polluters Pay Legislation

The Franklin Democratic Town Committee is proud to announce that it has unanimously passed a resolution in support of the Make Polluters Pay Bill, champion by State Representative Steve Owens and State Senator Jamie Eldridge. The legislation is officially entitled, An Act Establishing A Climate Change Superfund, And Promoting Polluters Responsibility, (H.872/S.481) which is currently being considered in committee.

The Polluters Pay Bill is similar to the EPA’s superfund system, requiring polluters to pay to clean up toxic sites and waterways. The Bill Would require big oil to pay into a trust fund For the purpose of mitigating the damage that greenhouse gases have done to our environment. The Bill would provide funds for infrastructure projects that directly benefit environmental justice populations. It will also fund, preparing and recovery from extreme weather events, infrastructure to protect coastal communities, protecting and improving our electrical grid and so much more.

Big oil has known for a long time the damage carbon pollution has been doing to our environment, costing communities millions of dollars in damages and endangering the health and safety of citizens. Now it’s time for them to pay back. By passing this resolution, the Franklin Democratic Town Committee is sending a clear message that it stands with the residents of Franklin and the state of Massachusetts in advocating for strong environmental policies that prioritize the health and well-being of our communities.

"We believe that it is essential for polluters to take responsibility for the harm they cause to our environment," said Rachel Plukas,, Chair of the Franklin Democratic Town Committee. "By supporting the Make Polluters Pay legislation, we are standing up for clean air, clean water, and a sustainable future for all residents of Franklin and beyond."

Franklin Democratic Town Committee 

We encourage residents to contact the state legislature and voice support for (H.872 S.481) Polluters Pay Bill.

For more information about the Franklin Democratic Town Committee and its initiatives, please visit our website at www.franklindemocrats.org, or contact Rachel Plukas at rlplukas@gmail.com

Franklin 8th Grader Recognized by National Council of Teachers of English as "Promising Young Writer"

Superintendent Lucas Giguere is pleased to announce that 8th grader Molly McKinnon has been recognized as a 2024 Promising Young Writer by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

McKinnon, who attends Annie Sullivan Middle School, was one of 177 students nominated to participate in the Promising Young Writers Program.

Her submission was a short story that captures the devastating results of teen depression when it is not addressed, according to Middle School English Language Arts teacher Jackye Hughes, who submitted McKinnon's work to the program. Written from the first-person point of view, the tone and mood of the story pull the reader in immediately, Hughes said.

Judges gave McKinnon's short story a "Superior" rating.

"Writing is an important skill and art form that needs to be nourished and encouraged," Superintendent Giguere said. "Congratulations to Molly for this recognition and I look forward to reading what she writes next."

The Promising Young Writers Program is part of NCTE’s commitment to stimulating and recognizing the writing talents of 8th-grade students across the country. The school-based writing program was established in 1985 to stimulate and recognize talented 8th-grade writers, as well as to emphasize the importance of writing skills among all 8th-grade students.

Schools in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, Canada, and American schools abroad are eligible to nominate students. This year, students were nominated from 33 states and Puerto Rico, as well as Canada and South Africa. Each submission is evaluated holistically by two to three independent judges who consider content, purpose, audience, tone, word choice, organization, development, and style.

In the past five years, seven students from Annie Sullivan Middle School have been recognized through the Promising Young Writers Program, according to Hughes. 

For more information about the Promising Young Writers Program, see http://www.ncte.org/awards/promising-young-writers/

The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is the nation’s most comprehensive literacy organization, supporting more than 25,000 teachers across the Pre-K through college spectrum. Through the expertise of its members, NCTE has served at the forefront of every major improvement in the teaching and learning of English and the language arts since 1911.
