Gallery 218: works of the summer
A crowd, behaving nicely with one another. The work came from the summer. When time was freer and easier than dictated by the school bells, the bus schedule or homework requirements.
Intent on observing a video or one of the paintings on the wall. Observation can lead in so many directions.
A self portrait. Is it close? What do you see when you look in the mirror?
What can you do with your hands, some paint, paper, or knitting needles and yarn? How handy are you?
These works are a small of what some of the Franklin teachers and students did this summer. Representing all the K-12 schools in the district, there are over 100 works on display at Gallery 218 in Franklin High School.
The Gallery is open immediately before and after school. Access off hours can be arranged by contacting Mike Caple, Director of the Art Program.
Art Bonus:
There is also a showing of some Franklin Teachers works at the Hunakai Studio in Foxboro. The show is called "Art of the Educator" and closes Nov 19ththis weekend. Take a drive out this Saturday or Sunday to view it before it closes.

"The move to Franklin has been everything we had hoped"
"There is no other community that has put on such an effort," said Jack Lank, president of the United Regional Chamber of Commerce. "People here in Franklin get it, they really do."
The summit highlighted the town's ability to offer tax incentives to businesses that expand within six so-called economic opportunity areas designated over the last two years.
The areas include Forge Park, Franklin Industrial Park, North Grove Street, South Grove Street and Pond Street. There are about 100 parcels available, totaling more than 900 acres.Read the full article about the economic summit held yesterday in Franklin:

Parmenter School: Story Walk
StoryWalk is an exciting initiative that combines a children’s story with a popular walking route, developed in September 2007 by Anne Ferguson in Vermont. Ferguson conceived of StoryWalk as a way to inspire parents, teachers, and caregivers to take young children on a short stroll that will be fun for all.
While the current book will stay up all year, Girl Scout Troop 80913 of Franklin will be hosting a GRAND OPENING this Saturday, October 30th, from 2-4pm.
The walking trail is located behind the Parmenter School in Franklin.
Organization: Girl Scouts of Eastern MA (Troop 80913)

In the News - home schooling
Franklin schools: Home-schoolers can only play if team spots are open
Sure this piece of the discussion was controversial, but what happened during the remainder of the meeting? What happened to the bullying plan and the update on Special Education?
