For the month of November, we are asking Franklin families to help make a difference together! Bring in a NEW book to Franklin Preschool to donate to One Stop Community Christmas. 📖

Last week, young adventurers from Mrs. Kimball's and Miss Brewer's class at Franklin Preschool took a field trip to The Great Pumpkin Patch! 🌾🚜
They hopped on a wagon ride, made some new furry friends while observing a variety of farm animals, and enjoyed a picnic lunch. 🐮🐔🥪
At the end of the day, each student got to take home their very own mini pumpkin as a souvenir. 🧡🎃
Everyone had a fantastic time! 🤗✨
