No Name Calling Week    
From: Dr. Shirley A. Dickinson, Principal
This year’s theme was “No Sticks. No Stones.” The family "No Bullying" poster contest was a huge success. Each child was asked to create a poster that reflects the theme for “No Name Calling Week – No Sticks. No Stones.” The posters are displayed throughout our school. Every child received a "Bullying Stops Here" bracelet. Our children are our treasure, and we hope that we can stop bullying by promoting kindness, respect, and responsibility. Thank you for your support of this proactive Family Project in our school.

Yearbook Photos Wanted
We need photos of classroom parties (Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day), assemblies, concerts, field trips or any school event for the yearbook. Please email photos to claytonslater@comcast.net or put photos in an envelope marked "PTO Yearbook" and send in with your child.

Box Tops
All information about Ben Franklin PTO Box Tops will be on this new website - http://franklinboxtops.weebly.com/index.html

Last year the PTO received over $2000 from the Box Tops Program which was used for field trips, class parties, and more for the children of Ben Franklin Elementary. Box Tops is a very easy fundraiser that everyone can participate in! 

Don't forget to keep clipping those Box Tops and ask friends and family to clip for you too! Questions?   contact Beth Scarlett at e.scarlett@gmail.com
