Warner Durham, a student at Cape Central High, worked with Franklin Elementary Principal Roanne Dean, to come up with a great plan for his Eagle Scout project. Warner built lost and found cubbies for elementary schools, which will help students reconnect with items they leave behind at school. Warner will be a senior at CHS this fall. Thank you for pouring back into your school district, Warner!
The Early Childhood Center serves three to four-year-olds and helps prepare students for Kindergarten. We are currently enrolling for the 26-27 school year. Visit our registration page to learn more, or click the following link for a video about the ECC: Early Childhood Center Video.
We hope everyone is safe after the heavy rain moved through the area.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Central Office located at 301 North Clark will be closed to the public tomorrow (June 9) as we clean up our office. Our staff will be here working, but we won't be able to have people coming and going while we work to get things back in order.
All of our summer school locations will be open and ready for students. Have a great evening, and thank you for your time!
We wanted to share some of the exciting things that happened in our CGPS cafeterias during the 2025–2026 school year! This year, thanks to the Local Food for Schools grant, we were able to support 11 local Missouri farmers and bring their fresh products straight to our students.
Here are the farms we partnered with and the items they provided:
Apple Ridge Orchard — strawberries
Beggs Berry World — strawberries
Essner’s Custom Butchering — beef
Fritsche Hill Farms — pure maple syrup
Gihring Farms — pure maple syrup
Green’s Garden — strawberries, peppers
Inland Rice — brown rice
Menard Farms — asparagus, sweet potatoes, green onions, strawberries, spring mix
River Bend Honey — pure honey
South Side Farms — spinach, spring mix, radishes, Japanese salad turnips, collard greens, carrots
Twisted Carrot Farm — watermelon
This partnership has been an incredible way to support local farmers and bring our students fresh, nutrient‑dense foods they truly get excited about. We love seeing their faces light up when they try something grown right here in Missouri.

After years of inspiring readers, encouraging curiosity, and creating a place where every child felt welcome, we are wishing a heartfelt congratulations to our librarian, Tracy Fetterhoff, on her retirement.
Since joining the Franklin family as our Library & Media Teacher in 2011, Mrs. Fetterhoff has helped countless students discover a love of books, learning, and imagination. Her kindness, patience, and steady presence have left a lasting mark on our school and in the hearts of so many students and staff.
