Franklin CARES is a partnership between Franklin County Schools and our community to support reading development. CARES- Community Advancing Reading in Elementary Schools- is being implemented at select schools (BES, FES, RES) during Spring 2023, with district wide expansion to all elementary schools for the 2023-24 school year.

We are seeking volunteers from our community- our parents, employees from area businesses, and from local churches and non-profit agencies to support our efforts with this initiative.

• Completion of our Franklin County Schools volunteer form and approval to volunteer

• Attendance at one of our 2 hour training sessions. All needed materials will be provided.

• A commitment to 1 hour minimum per week to read with students in need of additional support and encouragement
