This week, we’re celebrating Administrative Professionals Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize someone who helps keep Franklin Elementary running smoothly every single day—Mrs. Dee Dawson.
From the moment you walk through the front doors, Mrs. Dawson is often the first friendly face you see. Whether she’s greeting students, helping families, answering phones, or keeping everything organized behind the scenes, she does it all with care, patience, and a smile.
Thank you, Mrs. Dawson, for everything you do for Franklin Elementary. We appreciate you more than words can say!

Ms. Raney’s 3rd grade class gave back to the community in a big way!
Through creativity and teamwork, students raised $655 by making and auctioning off their own artwork and baked goods.
Every dollar was donated to the Vincennes Animal Shelter, helping support animals right here in our community.
We’re proud of our Vikings for using their talents to make a difference!
