School leadership and central office staff working together to determine what they notice and what they wonder about the information presented. Teamwork!





On 9/25, we went from “9 to 5” Dolly style! Our students brought plenty of sparkle and country flair with pink, rhinestones, fringe, denim, boots, and cowboy hats! We loved seeing everyone show off their personality and school spirit while celebrating an icon who reminds us:
“Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.” — Dolly Parton
Thanks to all of our students and staff who joined in the fun and made our halls shine a little brighter!

🗓️ September 28 – October 1
📍 Franklin Elementary School
We can’t wait to see our Panthers get excited about reading!

The students learned about the home’s history and its important role as a frontier fort during the early days of our county. Today, the Boggs House is cared for by the Pendleton County Historical Society, which works to preserve and share the rich history of Pendleton County through the many artifacts and stories housed there.
What a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience local history firsthand and see how the past helps shape the community we know today!

Students searched for items that offered a glimpse into life and traditions of years past, including an old-fashioned washboard, lantern, quilt, and many more!
It was a fun, hands-on way for our students to explore Appalachian heritage, learn about items used by generations before them, and enjoy a little adventure along the way!

Sierra is a proud Pendleton County High School graduate who brings care and support to our second-grade students each day. When she’s not at FES, you might find her attending a derby, crocheting, or enjoying some well-deserved time at home!
We’re so glad to have Sierra as part of our Franklin Elementary family!

Students listened, learned, and joined in the fun as they explored the sounds and musical traditions that have been passed down through generations in Appalachia.
What a wonderful way for our youngest Panthers to experience a piece of our local culture and heritage through music!
A special thank you to the Dulcimer Dames for sharing their music, talents, and Appalachian traditions with our students!

Students learned the rules, practiced their aim, and enjoyed a little friendly competition while experiencing a game that has entertained generations. It was a fun way to step away from today’s technology and discover how kids entertained themselves in years past!

The learning didn’t stop there! Students watched demonstrations of spinning, weaving, and quilting, giving them a firsthand look at the skill, creativity, and craftsmanship behind these traditional arts.
What a great way to bring local traditions to life and celebrate the heritage of our community during Treasure Mountain Festival Week!

Students learned how different patterns, colors, and even small scraps of fabric can be carefully pieced together to create something beautiful. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to see how creativity, craftsmanship, and tradition come together through the art of quilting.
