Some action shots from todays Pi Day Assembly! The top three students who recited the most digits of pi got to throw whipped cream pies at Mrs. Librizzi, Mrs. Geaney, and Mr. Olivo. We were able to raise over $300 to go towards next year's 8th Grade trip. Happy Belated Pi Day!

Kindergarten students shared their finished pet and weather books with Ms. Wolff's 8th grade class. Each student read their books to one or two 8th grade buddies and talked about writing and stories with them. Teacher hearts were filled as we watched this sweet interaction. 📖🥰
The Technology Ed course is looking for local business people or business owners who are willing to donate a little time on Monday and/or Tuesday, April 3rd and 4th between 9:50 am and 12:45 pm to grill our Tech students during their environmental product assignment Shark Tank presentation to "investors."
This is our new 8th-grade assignment that challenges our students to invent or improve products that can help improve the local or global environment. They need to come up with everything from blueprints and prototypes to advertising, startup, and R&D costs. All materials will be presented on the final days of the assignment. Maybe to you!
If anyone is interested please contact Mr. Reinertsen
Thank you!
The Seedling Tour is Back! The Tech department just got done building our very own seedling cart that comes complete with a few hundred flower seedlings, an onboard water supply, sprinklers, seed heaters, grow lights, and everything else the seedlings will need to travel from classroom to classroom while our students care for them. The seedlings will live on the cart until the greenhouse (and the weather) are ready. Several of the flowers were already transplanted into bigger pots to keep growing bigger. Just as exciting, our Food Sciences classes should be planting our vegetables sometime this week! We are excited to offer a wide array of veggies and flowers this year from our school greenhouse.
Fifth graders were at the controls today on their field trip to the Buehler Challenger and Science Space Center!
Mrs. Bennett's 7th Grade Food Science students have been busy putting their knife skills to the test; today we finished and ate "Cowboy Caviar" (Avocado Bean Salsa). Great job slicing, dicing, and mincing!
Last week, 7th grade Food Science students prepped and ran a taste testing event for Mrs. Slota's 4th grade Science classes. All students taste tested two varieties of local apple from Race Farm in Blairstown . They also tried a local honey dip. They put their food critic skills to the test and determined which had the best taste, texture and flavor. The results? They were completely different for each group, proving that we really all do have a unique sense of taste!
Please congratulate our 2022-2023 Superintendant Roundtable Award recipient, June Pecoriello!
Frankford finished Love of Reading Week with Bulldog Spirit and a visit from Buford!
Some days are just for fun! 8th grade students enjoyed a day snowtubing, building friendships, and making memories! 🥰
