Hola Comunidad de Franklin! We were very excited to welcome Flor de Primavera to Franklin for a special Latine Heritage celebration of Mariachi music. Our emcee's Ms. Gonzalez and Paul Lopez  helped us learn so much about the rich musical tradition known as Mariachi from Mexico!

Here is the student art that was submitted to the CPS REVERBERATE Festival this year. A huge shout out to all the students that submitted their artwork. We will be hearing who was accepted this week, so stay tuned! -Ms. Gonzalez

Yearbooks are on sale! Order now.

It may be chilly outside, but our students are warming our hearts this holiday season at @FFAC225's Curious Winter Showcase. With dazzling student performances and stage productions led by students, every moment was spectacular, receiving cheers from staff, @CPSCEdoBogdana, and the Franklin Fine Arts community! #TheBestAreWithCPS *Music used under fair use; all rights to the copyright holders*

We are excited to welcome families and community members to our Winter Showcase this week. Here is a sneak peek at our behind-the-scenes for A Curious Winter!

Congratulations to our @ILMEA1 All District Singers! Way to represent Franklin and @ChiPubSchools
