Ben Franklin Academy
Dear Parents,
I have had the opportunity to watch several of our middle school students on the basketball court the last few weeks as they compete against other local charter schools. It has been great to see the talent and effort each time. To add to the experience of each game, we are opening a middle school concession stand during each event. The purpose of the stand is to give students the opportunity to raise funds for future class trips. This year's basketball season filled up in one night! Thank you to all of you who signed up. Next year, we will continue this tradition during the volleyball season and again during basketball. We also will continue to explore other fundraising opportunities in the near future. |

Ukulele Donations
|
As a part of the fifth grade music program, students learn how to play the ukulele. Fifth grade parents will need to purchase the instruments. If any sixth or seventh graders are interested in donating their ukulele back to the music program, it would be greatly appreciated. Donated ukuleles will be lent to families who are unable to purchase one for their student(s).

Gaga Ball
|
We are currently looking for a couple of volunteers to assist with the assembly of a Gaga pit for middle schoolers. This was the most popular game played at outdoor education. We estimate this project to take a couple of hours and will be performed outside. It would be greatly appreciated if volunteers can provide their own power tools. Those interested in volunteering may email Michelle Bynum to sign up.
