All Night Party - Bottle/Can Drive - Saturday 9 to noon

"Hope to see you! The All Night Party is a safe place for the Graduating Senior class to go the night of Graduation.

It is a community event, please support by bringing your redemption cans and bottles this morning to the Franklin High School parking lot on the right side of the front entrance.

We can't do this without the Franklin community support."

It was all in preparation for the 2017 Best Buddies Prom Friday night, an annual event for students involved in the Franklin Public Schools' Best Buddies Program. The program is an initiative that pairs Franklin High School's students with intellectual disabilities, the "buddies," with teams of their high school peers. They socialize at school, and do special outside activities together at least once a month, though many get together more frequently."
