Franklin families,
Our “STEAM Engine” fundraiser got off to a great start today. Ask your child for the “Golden Ticket” they’re bringing home today and is also attached to this email. Helping them complete the Golden Ticket instructions TONIGHT is the #1 way you can support our school. It’ll take less than 10-minutes and there’s no need to collect any money – all you need to do is complete the instructions and your student will earn participation rewards and be entered into the raffle drawing for an Apple iPad.
Please take action TONIGHT by visiting our school’s fundraiser website to register and invite your friends and family to receive a no-pressure donation request using the link below. All provided contact information will be used for this fundraiser ONLY and remains strictly confidential.

Have your child return their Golden Ticket to their classroom teacher TOMORROW to be part of the fun. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s safe! Thank you for supporting our elementary PTO fundraiser!
