To those who knew her, Kristin Graci embodied the high school’s motto, “Franklin athletes never quit.”
An all-star pitcher, “She lived and breathed softball,” said Graci’s mother, Rita.For more than two years, Brad and Rita Graci have tried to give a permanent memorial to the high school in memory of Kristin, who died in 2010 at the age of 21 from complications of leukemia.
Through working with the School Committee, they’re now a step closer to seeing a large panther sculpture placed on the high school grounds.Continue reading the article here: http://www.milforddailynews.com/article/20150130/NEWS/150139826/1994/NEWS#sthash.e3hu7knj.dpuf

Josh Perry - Franklin is starting to get some statewide recognition after its tie with Super 8 favorite Springfield Cathedral, its play in the Mount St. Charles tournament, and the way that the Panthers have rolled through their Hock schedule.
The key player on the top line for the Panthers has been Ryan Spillane. The senior was one of the league’s top returning scorers and has picked up where he left off last winter pairing with linemates Joe Bourque and Alec Borkowski on one of the league’s most prolific lines.
Spillane, the son of Franklin coach Chris Spillane, has scored 15 goals and recorded 10 assists this season, while also providing the two-way play and willingness to battle in the corners that is a key to Franklin’s system.
Spillane has also been effective on both the power play and penalty kill and as the best player on the best team is a front runner as Player of the Year.Continue reading the full article at Hockomock Sports here

Hello
Classes will resume on Thursday as scheduled.
Emergency transportation will be available for students that typically walk to school (not students who are typically driven to school). As sidewalks are not plowed this service will be in place for the remainder of the week.
School parking lots and walkways are plowed however, due to cold temperatures the surface is slippery so please take appropriate precautions.
For FHS students who drive to school please make sure to allow for extra time as roads are narrow and speed should be reduced. There are massive snow piles at intersections so when making a turn use caution and reduce speed. Parking at FHS will be limited as the snow piles have reduced the parking spaces in all schools. Carpooling is recommended.
We will ask the police department have an extra presence at FHS/HMMS/Oak tomorrow to help manage the traffic.
Thank you to the staff and administration of DPW, Police, Fire and Facilities- these individuals worked 24/7 to maintain the roads and make sure the community was safe. Often their dedication and commitment goes unnoticed but their efforts are appreciated.
For your information:With these two snow days the last day of school is now June 23 (ASMS June 24) - this leaves 5 days for additional snow closures before looking at reducing vacation periods.
With additional snow predicted for Friday and next Monday please pay close attention to weather forecasts.Thank You

In Division 1 Central, Franklin is one of the favorites and a rematch with St. John’s Shrewsbury could be in the cards. The Panthers fell short against SJS last week but with wins over Mansfield and Taunton this season Franklin has shown they can play with top teams.Read the full write up on the boys here

The teams that seem to be poised to make a run this postseason are Franklin and North Attleboro. The Rocketeers seem to have stepped up on the defensive side of the ball this season and have a few more options on the offensive side of the ball with sophomore Caroline Collard developing into a threat on the post. The Panthers have strength in depth and made the sectional semifinals last season even while battling injuries. Westford, Wachusett, and Holy Name are strong opponents, but a healthy Franklin should be able to match up well.Read the full write up here

Good Morning,
I hope you are all weathering the storm. As DPW is using resources and efforts to keep our roads open so we affirm the decision to close school on Wednesday.
School parking lots and walkways will be plowed on Wednesday. Also Facilities will assess the roof tops on each school. Although the snow is not heavy there is a lot of it. We are taking every safety precaution.
We anticipate school will reopen on Thursday morning as planned.
Please be aware that sidewalks will not be plowed until the end of the week. We will implement emergency transportation for those student who do not take a bus or who are normally driven to school.
Students who walk to school daily will be picked up at regular bus stops. Bus routes are posted on the web site in Transportation folder. Scroll to Departments, scroll down to Transportation and click on bus routes.
No school activities or community programs until Thursday.
Municipal Building Closed until Thursday.
All school offices closed.
Thank you
