In the Tech room, we like to say thank you to our PTA by building them something with the tool they got us, to show them what we can do with it. So that's what we did! This is a large and very cool, 3D-printed Bulldog standing on a custom laser-cut platform as a thank-you gift for our Frankford PTA. The laser cutter and the printer were both provided by the PTA over the past several years. Thank you for helping us get the tools we need to keep our students working with relevant technology here at Frankford and for providing things that have the potential to help the entire school community, not just one classroom. We have already built parts and solutions to help several other programs in the school on the printer in the short time we have been in school, and have cut or etched things for most of the building with the laser cutter since it's been here.

Thank you to the High Point Marching Wildcats for hosting band students from the sending districts at High Point's Youth Night last night! Frankford band members had a blast, got to see a great football game, and experienced what it was like to bring the school spirit. It's always a fun night, and we're already looking forward to next year!

This crew volunteers to show up to school early every day to fix whatever shows up. Our morning Bulldog Repair crew has been growing and is learning the skills to fix just about anything in their school or local community. We have go-karts, pencil sharpeners, laminators, fans, furniture- all sorts of things on the list so far. If you are interested in getting your items repaired by this or our much larger 7th period crew. Contact Mr R or talk to a member of Bulldog Repair to check in your items.

Our PTA is just cooler than everyone elses. The printer we have in the Tech lab is usually running nonstop as long as we're in school. We have been trying to figure out a way to improve our 3D printing capabilities in the Tech program, and we are always make sure we can bring in the right tools to help us, the rest of the school, and the community. Our amazing PTA was generous enough to us with that problem by funding this massive 3D printer capable of printing larger and faster than anything else we have here. Took a while, but I think it's all dialed in and ready to be put to work. Thank you to the PTA for being willing to help put modern, useful tools in the hands of eager students as they train for their futures.

BULLDOG REPAIR IS BACK! We had a great year last year and finished up the school year repairing everything from school desks to car parts and everything in between. This club meets on Wednesdays and Thursdays during period 7, as well as before school from 8-8:30, and is open to all 5th-8th grade students. Bulldog Repair operates like a student-run small business, teaching students how to work with their hands, interact with customers, and solve practical problems. It runs solely on donations from the repairs, and all proceeds go directly into the Tech department parts budget to keep the program running. If you have something you need repaired or a simple thing you need built that you would not mind having a middle school student take a crack at. Contact Mr Reinertsen or drop it off in the Technology room (Rm 35).

Congratulations to the Summer Band program for another successful concert! Over just seven days of their summer vacation, these students came to the school and prepared a challenging program, and tonight's performance was a wonderful payoff for all of their hard work!

Hello Frankford Families!
Do you have an old instrument taking up space? An instrument that isn't getting used anymore? The Frankford Music Department is looking for donations of musical instruments. Any instruments will be helpful- children’s instruments can be used in Mrs. Layton’s room, while band instruments can be used in Mr. Aroune’s room to expand our ability to provide instruments for students who can’t afford their own, to be used as loaners while student instruments are out on repairs, and more.
The condition of the instrument is not a concern. Old instruments that aren’t working may still be used for parts, and anything that can’t be fixed up at school can potentially be used for trade-in programs to get instruments for the school.
If you have an instrument to donate, please bring it to the middle school office at Frankford School during school hours Monday-Friday, or Mondays-Thursdays from 9am- 2:30pm after summer break begins. Any questions about this, please contact Tom Aroune at arounet@frankfordschool.org.
Thank you in advance! The Frankford Music Department

In order to ensure the customers we are already helping can get their items completed and returned before the end of the school year, we will be shutting down Bulldog Repair's new item intake at the end of this week (5/22/2026). If we still have your items, don't worry, we are still working to finish those repairs, prints, etchings, builds, etc, and get the items delivered as soon as possible so we can begin cleaning the room up for summer and packing away all the tools and materials that make this program work. We appreciate all your support and donations. As you know, this program serves as a way to teach practical, hands-on, and entrepreneurial business skills to our students while providing a service to the community, but also serves as the fundraiser for many of our Frankford programs that do not have an operating or materials budget. The students learned a ton and got to work on all sorts of things this year that they may have never been exposed to without your trust and support.
Current numbers from our start earlier this school year: We repaired 131 items from across the school and community We still have 16 in progress We are awaiting parts deliveries for 9 And we were not able to fix 17.
Due to all that work, we managed to raise the necessary funds to "keep the lights on" for ADVEX, Technology Club, Bulldog Repair, Video Productions, the Greenhouse, the Engineering Technologies courses, create trophies and signs for the Community Car Show and Community Day, and all the little requests, parts, and quick fixes that walked through the tech room doors throughout the year. All in only 6 months of existence in our very first year.
Thank you all for trusting our students to repair your items and for your donations. See you next year!

Why a car show? So, you can show our students what a little creativity and hands-on knowledge can accomplish. Bring whatever vehicle you can think of to show our students what's possible, and bring home one of these handmade trophies. See you Friday!

Garden beds are prepped and ready for planting, the DSP crew and Mrs Gardner have been growing a little bit of everything for the seedling sale, and the hydroponic grower is full of lettuce and growing quickly. Thank you to our repair club kids for helping prep the garden beds for planting.
