MBTA - Franklin LIne: February 17 - Commuter Rail notice for President's Day

"pleased to announce that Mr. Paul Peri will be the next principal of Weston High School"

Mr Peri will be missed in Franklin. Dr. Midge Connolly, Superintendent of Weston (MA) schools made the announcement Monday.

"Dear Weston Community,

I am pleased to announce that Mr. Paul Peri will be the next principal of Weston High School. Mr. Peri will begin officially on July 1, 2020 but will be working with us throughout the spring as he transitions to Weston from Franklin, a community that he has been with for many years. Mr. Peri began his career in Franklin as a middle school teacher and then became the vice principal and principal of Remington Middle School. He then served as principal at Franklin High School for the past six years. Mr. Peri earned his undergraduate degree from Muhlenberg College and his Master’s degree in Education Administration from Endicott College.

During his time at Franklin High School, Mr. Peri has focused on improving the school culture and climate for staff, students, and parents/guardians. He has done so through increased love, laughter, care, support, communication and celebration, as great efforts have been made to increase school spirit and staff morale. Against this backdrop of culture, there has been a continuous focus of building and improving relationships among all stakeholders for the ultimate goal of doing what is best for students. Specific accomplishments include focused work on social and emotional learning, cultural proficiency, assessment and standards-based grading, development of a robust student advisory program, alignment of curriculum and lesson planning, and a successful NEASC accreditation visit."

THE BLACK BOX presents 2 Valentine’s Shows

THE BLACK BOX will present two shows Valentine’s week: comedian adam connie sr. on February 13 and fan-favorite band The Love Dogs on February 14.

adam connie sr.

THE BLACK BOX Comedy Series debuts with adam connie sr. on Thursday, February 13. adam connie sr. is a Franklin, MA bred comedian based in San Diego, CA . His career in entertainment began when he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the web series "Fully Staffed." His love for comedy then took him to the stage.

FM #203 - Community Preservation Act - Feb 5, 2020 (audio)

FM #203

This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 203 in the series, that we are now producing in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm).

Sharing this segment of the Town Council meeting on Feb 5, 2020 as the Community Preservation Act will likely be one of the prime subjects of discussion until November 2020.

Town Council Chair Tom Mercer opens this segment of the Council meeting asking Town Administrator Jamie Hellen to lead the Community Preservation Act discussion and overview. It was a sense of deja vu for Jamie as he realized that he had come to Franklin on November 7, 2001 to do the same thing early in his career. There were a few good stories to share as he recounted from the minutes of that Town Council meeting almost 20 years ago.

The presentation thus set in time perspective did proceed. A link to the presentation doc used is included in the show notes. After the Town Council had the opportunity to ask questions, members of the audience also had their turn to raise questions or comments. Each individual introduced themselves as they came forward to speak.

At the end of the discussion, Tom asks Jamie to start working on the details to enable this to come back before the Council, and eventually before the community, for a vote at the November 2020 election.

Without further ado, here is the recording for the meeting segment on the CPA approx 65 minutes  https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/HDKcCY9X

Soccer For Smiles Tournament - Registration open for February vacation week

After a tragic earthquake in Haiti in 2010, a young Franklin boy created the Hope for Haiti soccer tournament motivated to do something to help. A soccer tournament was developed over February's school vacation that provided an opportunity for soccer players to have a lot of fun in friendly competition. The event raised a significant amount of money that was donated to the relief fund for Haiti. The Soccer For Smiles tournament was born! A way for kids to help others in their own community!

To date, the tournaments have raised over $47,000! The tournaments have focused on local charities with the majority of monies raised going toward the Random Smile Project. The group has also supported Team Isabella and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Each year the tournament has grown in participation and donations. The team of students has grown and changed as older team members move on to college and new students join in the effort.

Please join in this year! Kids playing kids raising money for charities, no coaches, no adults (other than the supervising staff of Franklin Soccer School), just kids having some fun over February vacation for a good cause. Grab some friends and make a team or just register on your own and join a team!

Here is the expected schedule during February vacation (Feb 17 - Feb 21) (which may adjust slightly based on teams/players registered):

• Boys, Grades 1 and 2 Tuesday 10-Noon
• Girls, Grades 1 and 2 Tuesday 10-Noon
• Boys, Grades 3 and 4 Tuesday 12:30-2:30pm
• Boys, Grades 5 and 6 Tuesday 3:00-5:00pm
• Coed, Grades 7 and 8 Tuesday 5:30-7:30pm
• Girls, Grades 3 and 4 Wednesday 10:00-Noon
• Girls, Grades 5 and 6 Wednesday 12:30-2:30pm
• High School (Coed) Wednesday 2:30-4:00pm
