"Just Desserts" Fundraiser for Franklin

Mark you calendar now to attend "Just Desserts: An Evening of Art, Sweets and More". The event will be held at the Bossanova Ballroom on Saturday, April 10, 2010, beginning at 6:30 p.m. This is the second year for "Just Desserts", which raised over $11,000 last year!


Student art, as well as art donated by Franklin staff, parents, alumni members and the local art community, will be available for sale. In addition, there will be live performances by the Franklin jazz band, choir, dance class and members of drama. There will be raffle items, a direct appeal and lots of great desserts! Ticker order forms are available by clicking on the "Just Desserts" link of the Franklin website at http://franklin.pps.k12.or.us/. Proceeds from the evenings event will be divided between Franklin's industrial, visual, and performing afts department and the PTA.

The goals of "Just Desserts" are to:

1. Raise money to help augment departmental budgets and
support Franklin students and teachers.
2. Showcase some of FHSs's extraordinary student talent.
3. Help build a stronger Franklin community.

There is sure to be something for everyone at the event. Please give Franklin its just desserts and plan on attending to support our students and staff.
