📚☕ As we look back on another wonderful school year, one of our favorite first-grade memories was "Starbooks Day"!

The first-grade classes of Mrs. McKenna and Ms. Caprara transformed their classrooms into cozy cafés where students enjoyed a "kids coffee" (chocolate milk), a pastry treat, and a good book. The excitement continued as students became authors, writing and publishing their very own stories. This special day celebrated reading, writing, creativity, and imagination.

A heartfelt thank you to Blue Spruce for generously donating the paper supplies that helped create a day our students will remember long after first grade. ❤️📖

🐾✂️ Wrapping Up the Year with Service and Creativity! ✂️🐾

Before the school year came to a close, students in the new 8th-grade Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) course, Sew Much Fun, put their sewing skills to work on a meaningful service project. Together, they created more than 100 kitty kicker cat toys for local animal rescue organizations!

The handmade toys were distributed to six area cat rescue groups, providing enrichment and comfort for cats in their care. 🐱❤️

This project was a wonderful example of students applying what they learned in class while giving back to the community.

🎒✨ Last week, rising 3rd, 6th, and 9th-graders had the opportunity to explore their new buildings, eat lunch in their new cafeteria 🍎🍽️, meet faculty and staff, and connect with peer mentors during Step Up Day!

These experiences help students feel confident and prepared as they transition to the next stage of their educational journey. The work we do at the end of the school year supports student success from day one of next year! 🎉💙

🚁✨ Franklin Regional Middle School students recently took flight at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU) Drone Event!

Students joined peers from schools across Westmoreland and Allegheny counties for a day of hands-on STEM learning, teamwork, and friendly competition. Throughout the event, students worked together to complete drone challenges and obstacle courses that tested their creativity, communication, problem-solving, and programming skills.

From navigating complex obstacles to troubleshooting technical challenges, our students demonstrated the 5Cs, especially critical thinking and collaboration, while gaining valuable experience in drone technology, coding, and engineering design. Great job, Panthers! 🐾👏
