Our 7th graders getting their test flights in on the quadcopters and the flight simulator. They raced over, under, and through an obstacle course toward the finish ring at the front of the classroom. Great job 7th grade! Next week we build scale gliders!

Students were very excited to test their pasta bridges today in Engineering Technologies. Students are learning about the strength of a triangle and how to add structure to their chain reaction machines. Highest weight this year for a bridge tested on the road bed was close to 16 pounds on a bridge made of dry pasta! Good job 5th graders.

Trying to sneak in one more fresh lettuce harvest before winter in the Frankford Greenhouse Hydroponic Grower. Looking healthy so far.
Thank you to the Frankford Township PTA for donating these cones to Frankford Township School Security!
Grade 7 now has an awesome new addition to their flight curriculum in Engineering Technologies. Welcome to the classroom our new Flight Simulator! This contraption was donated little by little over the course of a few years and assembled this past week. Thank you to the Civil Air Patrol for their donation of the flight yoke and pedals and to Subaru of Newton for donating the laptop that runs the software. The seat is made from a broken student desk that was cut up and welded back together and the TV was dropped off in the Tech room a few weeks ago. Enjoy flying kids.

Dear Frankford Families,
My name is Robert “Bob” Mooney. The Frankford Township Board of Education appointed me as Interim Superintendent/Elementary School Principal and I began work on August 14th. I feel honored and privileged to serve this fine School District and thank the Board of Education for the opportunity.
To date, I’ve enjoyed over fifty years of service in public schools as a teacher, coach and administrator. I look forward to continuing my work in this important field.
Recently, I’ve had an opportunity to review many of the highly successful programs as well as curricular and extracurricular activities offered to the students of the Frankford Township Schools and I must say that I'm impressed with the entire operation.
As I mentioned to the Board of Education during the interview process, my goals are simple. I will be helpful and supportive to the students, staff, parents, members of the community and the Board of Education and will ensure that the next Superintendent is fully aware of all important Frankford Township School District operational and educational guidelines, procedures and practices. Without a doubt, a smooth transition is of paramount importance.
I would also like to congratulate Braden Hirsch on an outstanding career as the educational leader in this District and thank him for all of the assistance he gave me over the last few weeks.
I hope you and your family are enjoying a happy and healthy summer break. If you get an opportunity, please stop by to say “hello”.
Thank you,
Bob Mooney
