Insight on how Google brings you here

A good number of folks type "Franklin Matters" in Google (and other search engines) and end up coming here.

A screen shot of what I saw with "Franklin Matters" in Google today:

How does Google do this? Google engineer Matt Cutts explains in this brief video.

You can also use Google search to focus within Franklin Matters by using the search box on the top right corner of the this page.

I'll continue to create good content on what matters to me and you about Franklin so you can find what you need here.

PS - My thanks to Geoffrey Zub for giving Franklin Matters a Google+

PPS - Try typing in "school business administrator interview questions" and you also will likely end up on Franklin Matters. That was posted on March 12, 2008 and has been the #1 search term to bring folks here since. Folks from all around the English speaking world arrive here looking for those results. The interview questions were used by the School Committee when they did the interview process that resulted in bringing on Miriam Goodman to the Finance Director position.

An email alert arrived to confirm that the culvert on Partridge St is being repaired as planned.

Road Closure Alert ..... Partridge St, between Dover and Harborwood, will be closed to through traffic for construction from Monday October 24 through Thursday November 10.

The Town Council had voted approval of the funds to do the work at their meeting on October 5th. Notes from that part of the meeting were reported live and can be found here

Escape the Cold! Free Community Indoor Walking Program

For the second year, Franklin High School will open its doors to adult walkers in the community who wish to escape the impending cold and slippery sidewalks. Walkers will be able to accumulate mileage despite inclement weather or dark sidewalks.

The Community Walking Partners program is offered through Lifelong Learning and begins on Monday, November 7, 2011 and ends on Wednesday, April, 11, 2012. The program is free.

Walking will be available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM, except when school is closed for holidays or snow events.

For safety reasons, no bikes, skates, skateboards are allowed in the school.

Interested walkers should enter the Franklin High School through the H-wing door and stop at the Lifelong Learning/Adult Education office, sign in, and receive a lanyard, which will identify the walker to school personnel.
