Day of Giving planned in Franklin
FRANLIN The Franklin Education Foundation (FEF) invites the community to join in a Day of Giving on Tuesday, May 4 as Franklin celebrates the birthday of public-school advocate Horace Mann and the amazing work of local educators.
Since 1997, FEF has funded hundreds of educational grants totaling more than $300,000 to inspire innovative and sustainable programs, and to further support excellence in education within Franklin Public Schools.
The educational grants support engaging, diverse and sustainable pre K-12 learning opportunities and resources, including a Franklin Family Resource Guide, Box City, Family Astronomy Night, and the Franklin High School Empty Bowls Project, which are just a few of the many projects that have benefited students, families, educators and the community at large over the decades.
