I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support to our health office at Franklin Borough School. Your contributions are making a significant difference in the lives of our students, many of whom come into my office without having had breakfast or a nutritious snack during the day. \r\n\r\nAs you may know, a large number of our students come from low-income households, with over 40% qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Food insecurity is a pressing issue for many families in our community, and your donations help alleviate some of the challenges they face. When students arrive in need, it brings me comfort to know I can provide them with healthy snacks or crackers, thanks to your support. \r\n\r\nYour kindness not only supports our students but also empowers teachers and staff to focus on their roles, knowing that we have resources available to address students' basic needs. The impact of your generosity is truly felt throughout our school community. Your commitment to their well-being makes a significant difference in their daily lives and educational experiences here at Franklin School. \r\n\r\nThank you once again for caring about our students and for your unwavering support.
