"The town's schools have made strides in communicating to parents and the community at large, district officials reported in a mid-year review.
The officials spoke at Tuesday's School Committee meeting about progress made thus far on the District Improvement Plan and School Improvement Plans over the 2016-2017 school year. Goals in those plans included improving communication, implementing social/emotional learning in the classroom, promoting a culture of responsibility and aligning curriculum to meet student needs.
Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski said there had been an emphasis on improved communication.
"We've been pushing community engagement a lot," she said. "The (Annie) Sullivan (Middle) School has been amazing at using Twitter this year."

FHS boys hockey and wrestling teams post wins on Wednesday
Boys Hockey = North Attleboro, 3 @ Franklin, 7 – Final
Girls Hockey = Franklin, 0 vs. Medway/Ashland, 3 – Final
Wrestling = Franklin, 48 @ Taunton, 11 – Final
– Taunton picked up wins from Alex Simon (170), Nuno Camara (182) and Woudanly Danger (220).
Joe Clark, Hockomock Sports .com Student Reporter, provides a complete write up on the FHS boys hockey game:
"Franklin’s offense came ready to play on Wednesday night at Pirelli Veterans Arena, rolling to a 7-3 win over North Attleboro to pick up two points in league play.
Coming off back-to-back five-goal games, Franklin’s offense continued to roll, scoring just over two minutes into the contest. On the power play, Franklin freshman defenseman Colin Oppelt found Joey Blasie for a slapshot that found the back of the net to put Franklin up 1-0.
A few minutes later around the nine minute mark, North Attleboro had a chance when Jason McNeany found space but a great save from Franklin goalie Cam Benham kept the Franklin lead at 1-0. A minute later, Franklin almost scored again on a slapshot by junior defenseman Jack McGrath from the blue line, but a nice save from goalie Ryan Warren kept the North deficit at one."Continue reading the article online

Ellis Paul's "25 Years On The Road" tour is coming to Milford
Ellis Paul will be performing at Memorial Hall in celebration of 25 years of touring!
"The World Ain't Slowin' Down"
Ellis Paul Celebrates 25 Years On The Road
Memorial Hall
30 School Street
Milford, MA 01757
Show time: 7:00pm
Some artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It's a rare artist who can do both, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall. Woody Guthrie comes to mind, and so does Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen certainly as well. Yet few others, for whatever genius they may possess, can relate their own history to the history experienced by those who find that common bond, be it in a coming of age, living through the same realities or sharing similar experiences.
Ellis Paul is one of those gifted singer/songwriters. Though some may refer to him as a folksinger, he is more, for lack of a better word, a singular storyteller, a musician whose words reach out from inside and yet also express the feelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most people can relate to in one way or another, regardless of age or upbringing.
The exhilaration of the open road. A celebration of heroes. The hope for redemption. Descriptions of those things that are both near and dear. The sharing of love... intimate, passionate and enduring.

"Members of the School Committee this week urged State Rep. Jeffrey Roy, D-Franklin, to review the way schools are funded in Massachusetts.
Roy, a former member of the committee, attended the group's Tuesday night meeting to provide a summary of his priorities for the coming legislative session.
Committee Chairman Kevin O'Malley noted that the effort to reform the formula by which a district's foundation budget - or the minimum that it can spend - is determined began in the early 1990s, and asked Roy why there had not been more progress since then.
"Everything is now changing, and not to the inexpensive side," O'Malley said. "How do we get the urgency of our voice to the state house?"

"A local volunteer group is seeking help from several towns in its efforts to help protect and promote the Charles River Meadowlands.
The group decided at a meeting this week to adopt a plan that includes goals for the land, which is spread out over several pieces of property owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The meadowlands - located in, among other towns, Bellingham, Franklin and Medway - were purchased as a buffer to absorb river flooding.
Alan Earls, who is leading the local effort, said the plan was developed over the course of many meetings.
"It's based on feedback we got from people, including town committees, town planners, the people who attended our meetings and abutters," he said. "We want to see the land preserved, managed and made more accessible."
