From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"The town's schools have made strides in communicating to parents and the community at large, district officials reported in a mid-year review. 
The officials spoke at Tuesday's School Committee meeting about progress made thus far on the District Improvement Plan and School Improvement Plans over the 2016-2017 school year. Goals in those plans included improving communication, implementing social/emotional learning in the classroom, promoting a culture of responsibility and aligning curriculum to meet student needs. 
Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski said there had been an emphasis on improved communication. 
"We've been pushing community engagement a lot," she said. "The (Annie) Sullivan (Middle) School has been amazing at using Twitter this year."

FHS boys hockey and wrestling teams post wins on Wednesday


Boys Hockey = North Attleboro, 3 @ Franklin, 7 – Final

 Girls Hockey = Franklin, 0 vs. Medway/Ashland, 3 – Final

 Wrestling = Franklin, 48 @ Taunton, 11 – Final
– Taunton picked up wins from Alex Simon (170), Nuno Camara (182) and Woudanly Danger (220).

Joe Clark, Hockomock Sports .com Student Reporter, provides a complete write up on the FHS boys hockey game:

"Franklin’s offense came ready to play on Wednesday night at Pirelli Veterans Arena, rolling to a 7-3 win over North Attleboro to pick up two points in league play. 
Coming off back-to-back five-goal games, Franklin’s offense continued to roll, scoring just over two minutes into the contest. On the power play, Franklin freshman defenseman Colin Oppelt found Joey Blasie for a slapshot that found the back of the net to put Franklin up 1-0. 
A few minutes later around the nine minute mark, North Attleboro had a chance when Jason McNeany found space but a great save from Franklin goalie Cam Benham kept the Franklin lead at 1-0. A minute later, Franklin almost scored again on a slapshot by junior defenseman Jack McGrath from the blue line, but a nice save from goalie Ryan Warren kept the North deficit at one."

Ellis Paul's "25 Years On The Road" tour is coming to Milford

Ellis Paul will be performing at Memorial Hall in celebration of 25 years of touring!

"The World Ain't Slowin' Down"

Ellis Paul Celebrates 25 Years On The Road



Memorial Hall
30 School Street
Milford, MA 01757

Show time: 7:00pm
Some artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It's a rare artist who can do both, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall. Woody Guthrie comes to mind, and so does Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen certainly as well. 

 Yet few others, for whatever genius they may possess, can relate their own history to the history experienced by those who find that common bond, be it in a coming of age, living through the same realities or sharing similar experiences.

Ellis Paul is one of those gifted singer/songwriters. Though some may refer to him as a folksinger, he is more, for lack of a better word, a singular storyteller, a musician whose words reach out from inside and yet also express the feelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most people can relate to in one way or another, regardless of age or upbringing. 

 The exhilaration of the open road. A ​celebration of heroes.​ ​The hope for redemption. Descriptions of those things that are both near and dear. The sharing of love... intimate, passionate and enduring.
Ellis Paul's "25 Years On The Road" tour is coming to Milford 2/11/17
