Franklin fifth‑grader Teddy tells board Franklin offers opportunities for clubs and leadership
Summary
A Franklin Elementary student, Teddy, described school clubs, math activities, and his aspirations — including a lighthearted note that he wants to be a politician when he grows up — and explained how the Move-a-thon fundraiser works.
Teddy, a Franklin Elementary student, addressed the board about his classroom experiences, extracurricular opportunities and the school’s Move‑a‑thon fundraising model.
He described clubs (chess, math Olympiad, musical theater), student government responsibilities and the Move‑a‑thon, explaining that donations are tied to laps run around the track. Teddy praised teachers and staff for supporting students and said the school’s monthly values helped him learn responsibility and leadership. "This month, we learned about responsibility. This is important to me since I wanna be a politician when I grow up," Teddy told the board.
Board members asked a clarifying question about what a Move‑a‑thon entails; Teddy said it includes running laps plus games and inflatables and that money is raised by lap donors. Trustees and staff encouraged Teddy to return for future updates.
