In our original send, we referred to Franklin International as Franklinton International in the article title - we apologize for the typo!

Franklin International comes to Harambee - Business takes social responsibility seriously!

          

   For years, Franklin International (which is among the largest privately held manufacturers of adhesives and sealants in the United States) and its employees have been supporting Urban Concern and Harambee Christian School through their employee giving campaign.    

     

Friends and supporters from Franklin International with our 4th Graders


    On Tuesday, August 30th, we were  privileged to share with Franklin employees the invaluable effect their support is having in the lives of our students and families.  As a part of the tour, employees took in a Chinese lesson in our 3rd grade classroom, drum lessons in 6th grade, and some playwriting with future Shakespeares in 4th grade.  

    Thanks for all you do, Franklin! 

 

   Urban Concern benefits in an  invaluable and ongoing way through Franklin's value and display of social responsibility.  We are grateful to partner with them in order to empower students and families in our community to become agents of positive change.
