Franklin Elementary School PTO

09/04/2026

Has it already been a week? Well, I heard joining the PTO volunteers is the best way to end the first week of school.
✅ Clearer, younger-looking skin
✅ More belly laughs
✅ Stronger school community

Get on our list for volunteers, and we'll reach out to you when there's an opportunity. It's a little easier than Facebook, so share this link, please.

We're looking to expand our base of volunteers–and committee members–for the 2026-27 school year. Most of all, we want to make sure we're reaching those who want to be involved in any way. Let us know how you'd like to be involved. We will collect your email addresses, and we promise not to spam...

🚧 Imagination goes a long way, and we've got enough to start the year.
Still, we're looking for donations to add to the fun equipment and activities for the students this year, like chalk, bubbles, jump ropes, and stepping stones.

We're asking for donations!
1) Pick something from the Amazon Wishlist and send it right to school. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1CERYCXQH4ELU/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex
2) Donate online on Infinite Campus (the parent portal). Any amount, and we'll pool it to purchase items. https://oshkoshwi.infinitecampus.org/campus/store/oshkosh/school-store/5/57/products
3) Message us if you prefer check or cash donations, and we'll connect.

*If we raise over the amount needed, we'll save it for future projects.

He was a little tall for our Franklin Elementary Open House photo booth, but we're so thankful for the visit from the Wisconsin Herd mascot, Pointer! Thanks for the surprise. The kids (and adults) love having you cheer us on into the new school year!

If anyone has pics from the Open House we can post, please share them. We had fun chatting and getting to know some new and some familiar people.

**For pics, please make sure you are able to give permission to share the pictures on this group and possibly in posters for Open House next year.

Construction, am I right?🚧
We've got most of the basics for recess, and most importantly kids' imaginations! Still, we're looking for donations to add to the fun equipment and activities for the students this year. Some consumable like chalk and bubbles, and others like stepping stones and jump ropes will be around for awhile.
