The FHS student publications class (yearbook & journalism) is kickstarting their apparel fundraiser a little early this year! We wanted to try to give you options that are outside of what we have done in the past, so there are 2 forms to look at! Some of our specialty items include dad hats & bucket hats! Students can pick up order forms in the office or from Mrs. Black. The online store will be open later this week! We hope you enjoy the variety of items we have chosen & can't wait to see you in this new gear! All proceeds help to cover yearbook production costs! Please contact Mrs. Black at eblack@franklinhigh.com or via phone at (217) 675-2395 ext. 122 if you have any questions! Orders are due Wednesday, October 6.

Good afternoon,
I wanted to share information on a social media trend that is hitting schools. A TikTok challenge called “Devious Lick” has been going around schools in the United States. The challenge calls for students to vandalize/steal “Lick” random items from schools. In some cases, students steal items, such as soap dispensers and throw them in the toilets. We have experienced vandalism in the past week that very closely follows the “Devious Lick” challenge. Students have taken bags of hand soap from dispensers and flushed them down the toilets. This caused a massive sewer issue at the Jr-Sr High building that will end up costing the district thousands of dollars. We are actively investigating this incident and any students involved will face severe disciplinary measures. I am asking you to please talk with your student and explain to them that this type of activity hurts everyone in the district and will not be tolerated. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in ending this type of activity in our schools.

This site was created as a one stop shop for families, so hopefully it proves to be helpful! Mrs. Black will be adding to the site as the year goes on, so stay tuned!
