Franklin School’s Blue and Gold Club

The Blue and Gold Club is a community service club that focuses on a different project each month. Students involved in this club volunteer their time to help collect and organize for the club’s various projects, while consequently, strengthening their sense of civic engagement and nationalism, as well as meeting educational, developmental and social goals. This club would not be possible without the hard work of the faculty coordinators; Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Nicoll.

Book Drive

Franklin School's Blue and Gold Club held a book drive throughout the month of February in honor of Read Across America. The members of the club worked extremely hard collecting books from different classrooms and sorting them into boxes. The 2,935 books that were collected were donated to the children's hospital at Trinitas.

Thanksgiving Food Drive

The generous families of Franklin School students donated 1,646 food items so that other families could have a memorable Thanksgiving dinner. This was the most successful food drive in Franklin School’s history. Thank you to all who donated!

The students from Franklin School brought in and donated over 600 toys. This doesn’t include the additional donations that were given by the Rahway High School JROTC, as well as our own faculty and staff. This year’s toy drive was very successful. It was the most toys that Franklin School has ever collected. Wow! Thank you to all who donated!

Pictured here are some students from Mrs. Kropoth’s Kindergarten class. They brought in the most toys and were rewarded with a pizza party. Congratulations!
