Please consider coming by on the 14th to see old friends, go on a tour of the school, look at memorabilia, add memories to our scrapbook, and more. Also, be a part of the groundbreaking pathway of commemorative bricks in our Peace Garden. There will be food for sale, games and a DJ!
A school cannot succeed without tremendous students, active families and creative, talented staff members and, over the past 50 years, Ben Franklin Elementary School has had just that.
