Science Fair Evaluators Needed

The Science Fair: Wednesday, February 19, 6:30 pm, Cafetorium AND MPR!

Download your instruction packet at: https://franklinschoolpta.org/sciencefair2014 and don’t forget these important dates:

  • Tuesday, February 18, 8:00 am:  Drop off your Science Project Board between 8:00 and 9:00 am in the Cafetorium.  Don’t bring boards to your classroom!
  • Wednesday, February 19, 6:30 pm:  Science Fair Open House runs from 6:30 to 7:30 pm in the Cafetorium (grades 4 & 5) AND MPR (K-3) this year – with a raffle at 7:00 pm (must be present to win!).  The entire Franklin community is invited to support our young scientists!

We are now actively looking for SCIENCE FAIR EVALUATORS to review and comment on these amazing projects.  Two shifts (12 noon to 3 pm and 6 to 9 pm) will be scheduled on Tuesday, February 18  in the Cafetorium.  No experience necessary – just a desire to support Franklin’s budding scientists!  To sign up, visit www.mysignup.com/sciencefairevaluators.

Prop 38 for Franklin

Next year, SMMUSD will have a $10 million budget deficit.

Franklin will have even bigger class sizes, and face teacher layoffs and program cuts.  Our PTA will need to raise a lot more funds just to keep up with our current standards.  When Centralized Fundraising starts July 2014, Franklin PTA won’t be able to fund classroom aids and technologist directly. They will be centrally funded by the district.

Proposition 38 will provide $10 billion annually over twelve years to California public schools based on the number of students enrolled at each school.  Money goes directly to our local schools.  Sacramento cannot touch it.

Franklin can use the 38 money to reduce class sizes, pay for teachers, aids, technologist, nurses, counselors, as well as many other programs that will enable our children to have a well rounded education including art, music, math, science and technology.

The numbers below reflect a projected snapshot of how much new funding Franklin Elementary and SMMUSD will get in the first full year, fifth year and the twelfth year of Prop 38:

Every school and every child in our district will benefit. Official Website: www.prop38forlocalschools.org
