A piece of Franklin history uncovered!✨ As we closed Franklin, Gorrell and Whittier this year to make way for Massillon East and Massillon West Elementary Schools, a group of former Franklin students remembered something special! A time capsule placed in the bricks of the Franklin sign back in 1985. Last week, Leslie Riley, Diana Pachis and Mary Ann Murray joined us as the capsule was opened! Inside, we found snapshots of Tiger life from 40 years ago: a yearbook, photos, a Franklin eraser, a newsletter, a field day ribbon, a report card and notes written by those connected to the building at the time!
