Dear Franzen Families,

As we come close to another school year ending, it seems like we just started.  It sure feels like time flys faster and faster with each passing year. On behalf of the faculty of Franzen, I would like to thank our students, parents, and families for a great year of learning.

When you take a look at your child when they come home for summer vacation, I hope you recognize the growth and maturity that he/she has achieved over the course of this year in school.  We as a school community are privileged to be part of this development.  We are extremely pleased and proud of the work our students have done both academically and socially this year.  As educators, our hope is that lessons such as working hard, doing your best and working cooperatively with others, stay with these students for many years to come and help them develop into better students, learners, and citizens as they grow.  I would like to thank our faculty for all of their hard work and dedication this past school year in helping in the growth and development of our students.

We look forward to our 4^th graders moving into 5^th grade next year and look forward to them becoming the leaders of our school next fall. I know they will be up to the challenge.  We also look forward to a set of brand new faces entering our building in third grade….welcome students!

For our 5^th graders, we wish them good luck as they move onto 6^th grade at Peacock Middle School. I look forward to seeing them grow through the years. Please come back and visit. You are always welcome at Franzen.

It is my sincere hope that everyone has a fantastic summer vacation and we will see you back at school in August, with a brand new roof and a freshly cleaned interior.  See you all on August 15^th!

Enjoy your summer!
