What a perfect day for our inaugural pickleball fundraiser! Hats off to Dave Blask and the committee for a fantastic and profitable event. Congratulations to the winners of the brackets and costume contest. Stay tuned for our next Spring pickleball event!

We are proud to have Delta Dental of Wisconsin as our primary sponsor for our first annual FEf Pickleball Charity Fundraiser this Saturday! We still have a few spots open so sign up by tomorrow, 10/23 to secure your spot. Here's the registration link: https://www.franklineducationalfoundation.org/pickelball

Here's the best cup of coffee and a delicious muffin prepared by our young student entreprenurs in Franklin’s Transition Services group! On Tuesday mornings they host a little coffee shop at the ECC Admin Building and sell baked goods, coffee and tea to staff. Proceeds go to support their business and classroom needs.

Through public donations from friends like you, the Foundation has provided grants for an AED machine for their training apartment/classroom, furniture and more. The Transition Services team does a fantastic job preparing our 18-21 year-old students with special needs for independence and neccessary life skills. Check out their page to learn more about it!

We've got books, toys, winter coats, and Halloween costumes galore! Doors open at our Children's Consignment sale at 8:30am Saturday!

THIS SATURDAY, Sept 14th, is our semi-annual children's consignment sale! Over 120 sellers with high-quality children's clothing sizes 0-18, toys, games, books and so much more! Doors open at 8:30 am through 11:30am. Half-price sale from 12:30-2pm. Click here for details: https://fplrummage.wordpress.com

We had almost 200 participants, and over 30 vendors, donors, and sponsors participate in Saturday's Franklin Fun Run at Froemming Park! While the day started off a little chilly, families and community members had a great time meeting new businesses and community organizations, enjoying a free breakfast and custard courtesy of Sendiks, Culvers, Einstein's Bagels, and Mimosa's Breakfast and Brunch. Our Toddler Dash organized by the YMCA was filled with laughter and high energy and after our 1 mile and 5K walk/ run, participants were able to cool down with Yoga in the Park. We truly appreciated the entire Franklin Varsity Dance Team for volunteering!

Thank you to all the organizations who helped make this event possible! AND a SPECIAL thank you to Ashley Cornell for starting this run four years ago and chairing the event!

Whether you're a pro or just getting started, our Pickleball Tourney will be an event you won't want to miss! Matches begin at 8 am and will end by 4 pm. Brackets will include competitive and recreational play. FPS staff and High school students 14 and above can play at a discounted rate. And, since October 26th is Trick or Treat night for Franklin, come dressed in your favorite costume and enter our Costume Contest! All proceeds from the event go to support grants, scholarships and student assistance funding through the Educational Foundation.

Big shoutout to Whitnall Dental for supporting our Franklin Fun Run as a Gold Sponsor! We're still looking for sponsors, vendors and volunteers to help out at this great event so please reach out with any questions.

AND, as a fun incentive, we will be hosting a FPS challenge to see which school has the most students at the event. Last year several of our Phy Ed. teachers did a push up for every student who attended -- Mr. Blask and Mr. Bauer did a lot of push ups and were excited to see what the challenge will be this year.

At the registration table, FPS students who attend the run will receive a raffle ticket color coded to their school. One lucky student will receive Milkmen tickets@
