Franklin CARES

Franklin CARES is a partnership between Franklin County Schools and our community to support reading development. We are excited to announce that CARES- Community Advancing Reading in Elementary Schools- will be implemented in all eight FCS elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

We are seeking volunteers from our community- our parents, employees from area businesses, and local churches and non-profit agencies to support our efforts with this initiative.๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐?
