Starting this week and from now until 1/31, Franklin High School Class of 2017 is holding a fundraiser to raise money for the upcoming prom in April.

“With the winter season being here, we thought it would be a great idea to sell cozy hats that will also strengthen school spirit- not to mention the proceeds will also go to helping fund this year’s prom” says FHS junior Maddie Derby, the student who came up with the idea to sell the hats.
“We hope people will buy the hats as it will help to make prom better!” says Derby.
The hats fit anyone and everyone! Not only can FHS students buy them, but anyone in the Town of Franklin who just want to sport some cool winter gear.
Make sure to buy a hat to help support FHS Class of ‘17!
