Benjamin Franklin Elementary

Today is School Resource Officer Day, and we’d like to take a moment to recognize the Vincennes Community School Corporation Police Department! The VCSC PD does more than keep our schools safe — they build relationships, mentor students, and serve as trusted role models each and every day. Thank you to Chief Aaron Luce, Assistant Chief Cody Jones, Officer Kyle Evans, Officer Aaron Morris, Officer Kevin Porter, and Officer Joshua Shipman for all you do for our students, staff, and school community!

REMINDER: There will be no school on Monday, February 16.

We’ve had even more Vikings complete the Kindness Challenge!

We’ve added additional photos to our gallery to celebrate these students and their commitment to spreading kindness throughout Franklin.

Check them out on our website: https://www.vcsc.k12.in.us/o/bfes/page/photo-gallery

We’d like to congratulate Lindsey Brooking on being named WZDM’s Teacher of the Week.
