Franklin County K-12 School is a member of the Franklin County community, and as such, the community plays a huge role in the operation of the school. One very important contribution from the community came this summer and during the first days of school, and that was the donation of school supplies and financial assistance with t-shirt purchases. We have discovered that because of some of life’s unpredictable situations, so many grandparents are having to take care of the needs of their grandchildren, and when school starts, that includes purchasing school supplies and buying school shirts. Fortunately, on staff at FCS is Connie Sawyer, our bookkeeper, and recognizing this need and possessing a heart of gold, she looked out in the community for help and became the driving force behind securing money to help meet this need and others. Making phone calls throughout the community, Sawyer found many, many good Samaritans who generously donated to the causes she told them about. Big thanks to the Florida Department of Corrections. When Sawyer got in touch with them, representatives from the Franklin Correctional Institution in Carrabelle got right on it. From a supply list she sent to them, they purchased and presented to us a huge amount of school supplies. Big thanks also to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. Their representative, Michelle Moore, spearheaded this law enforcement agency’s efforts to assist and they brought us a big box full of student supplies. Read More. |
