Pottstown School District

Students at Franklin Elementary school with the help of a donation from the Charlotte Street Coffee Shop are brewing up some positive feelings and kindness. 

On January 17, 2025, our dedicated teachers and staff had the wonderful opportunity to visit some of our outstanding students at home, celebrating their dedication and achievements! Our special "I'MPACT Award" is designed to recognize and uplift students by bringing encouragement and recognition straight to their doorsteps.

For those of you who may not have known January 17 is Benjamin Franklin‘s birthday today he celebrated birthday 319 by paying a visit to Franklin Elementary school.
