Franklin Elementary School is recipient of a $100,000 award for a school fitness center
Today, representatives from Franklin Elementary School, in partnership with the Diabetes Resource Center, accepted an award of $100,000 to be used toward a school fitness center. The award is from the California’s Governor’s Council. The Council is recognizing Franklin as the California Elementary School of Year. Pedro Guillen, a sixth-grade teacher at Franklin, along with his son P.J., a student at the school, accepted the award from the governor and will receive a tour of the Capitol building.
Principal Casie Killgore said, “We are delighted to be recognized by the state for our efforts. We could not have done this without the partnership of the Diabetes Resource Center. With this fitness center, our Franklin community will benefit for years to come.”
