Play of the day.... Math and Munch!
Families enjoyed coffee, donuts, and fun math games while learning strategies to support students at home. What a great way to start the day at Benjamin Franklin.
JP Assistant Principal Mr. Robinson, a USMC veteran, honored veterans at our annual Field of Flags event. Under Mr. Robinson's leadership, the JP community raised almost $2000 for the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization. Happy Veterans Day to all who served and their families!
