Franklin Elementary PTA

You are invited to join us at our Franklin PTA Meetings!

Our meetings are generally held on the second Monday of each month during the school year, from 6–7 p.m. Meeting information is sent out through school texts and email, or reach out to us at franklinpta1910@gmail.com to be added to our mailing list. Free childcare is provided by Missoula Parks & Rec!

What does the Franklin PTA do?

We are dedicated to working with Franklin Elementary School teachers and staff to support the education and growth of every child who attends the school.

We raise funds to support in-school activities and needs such as:

Class field trips
School garden
Proud PAW store
Library materials and subscriptions
Scholarships for Band/Orchestra student instrument rentals
Special improvement projects (like playground additions!)
...other needs as they arise!

We also coordinate events such as teacher appreciation breakfasts and luncheons, the Scholastic Bookfair, Family Engagement events, and the Franklin All-School Walkathon.

You can choose to be involved as little or as much as you’d like.

Just want to stay in touch with what’s going on at the school? Great! Email us and we’ll add you to our list so you can stay in the loop. You can also follow the Franklin PTA Facebook page for timely updates on school news and activities!

Do you want to spend more time in the classroom and working on projects? We also help the school by volunteering during school picture days, hearing screenings, school store days, and other events.

We are now using the MCPS Volunteer Portal to post and sign up for opportunities. Please review the Volunteering at Franklin Elementary document in our Google Drive for more information.

Have a specific project you’d like to see happen at Franklin?

Please email us! We have several committees focusing on specific issues, and we may already be talking about it, or we can take it up during a meeting.

Current committees/opportunities include:

Garden Committee
In conjunction with Garden City Harvest, this committee supports the Franklin school garden and Farmer in the Classroom program. These programs support and deepen our childrens’ connection with their food, seasonal growing cycles, and the natural world.

Fundraising/Donations Committee

This committee focuses on fundraising and raising in kind donations from the community to make it possible for the PTA to offer school and classroom support, hold family events, and continue our other activities.
