The Franklin Landscape Improvement Project (FLIP) got off to a great start on Saturday, October 18, 2008. 22 volunteers made up off students, staff, parents, friends of Franklin and community partners worked together putting in plants in the front of the school. The new landscaping will include trees, shrubs, grasses, vines and groundcovers. The following sponsors gave donations for the first phase of the work.
Portland Nursery
Marguerite Cohen, M.D.
The Villa Garden Club
The Morrison Erland Family
C & T Landscaping
Imago Dei Church
Mt. Scott Fuel
The next part of the project is the Alumni Memorial Cherry Grove sponsored by the Franklin High School Alumni Association and C & T Landscaping. If you are interested in donating to this project, or volunteering your time, please contact the Alumni Association at franklinalum@hotmail.com. Look for more about this project in the Spring 2009 edition of the Alumni Post.
