Randall Playground (Olive Jones Park)

Franklin and Randall students and their grown ups are invited to dress in their favorite costumes and enjoy some popcorn and cider with friends! We will parade around Randall school starting at 11:30 am for those that are interested! 

Help ensure the success of this event by volunteering to handout popcorn and cider or help our kids parade around Randall school. We are looking for people to fill one hour shifts starting at 10 am and wrapping up shortly after noon. If you are available to help, please sign-up here to volunteer for the Franklin-Randall Fall Playdate!

**Children should have a guardian present during the event. We will not have access to the building, so no toilets will be available.** 

Applications are now open to staff, students, and community members to implement projects that align with school and community needs. We are looking for one more volunteer to spend 3-5 hours during the first couple weeks of November reviewing grant applications with other committee members and making recommendations for awards to the PTO Board. 

If you're interested, sign up to join the grant committee today!

The volunteer page on the PTO website is now updated with currently recruiting volunteer opportunities! Check back regularly to find ways that you can support our school and PTO. If you have any questions, please email CaitlinEVoegele@gmail.com.

The first ever Randall Raccoon Rally was a wonderful success! We surpassed the $25,000 fundraising goal we set. The money raised will help Randall purchase furniture throughout the building. A heartfelt thank you to Randall students and all who supported financially and/or volunteered your time the day of the event. We look forward to making the Rally an annual event in the years to come. 

Please encourage your child to take a peek at the lost and found.

Any items not claimed by the Fall Break (November 22) will be donated.

This is also a reminder to label everything you can with your child's name.
