Still Accepting Applications for 5th Grade!

Back from Break! Check out our event-filled calendar!

by

Good morning Franklin families,

I’m easing back into work mode after a week of break and I’m committed to getting myself outdoors for one last day of gardening and adventure. Full disclosure – the newsletter is written early every Sunday morning. No matter how hard I try to fit this into the work week, something more important or more immediate always steps in the way. I know everyone can relate to the challenge of work life balance, so let’s keep the newsletter short today and get everyone out the door for something more important or immediate, whether that’s time with your family, private meditation, or outdoor adventure!

The time between spring break and the end of the year is always the busiest part of the school year. This year is no different – just take a look at all the amazing events coming up! Beyond the competing events, students and teachers feel the pressure of ending the year well. Let’s move into this time with a shared commitment to holding space for one another. Intentional kindness is low effort, high reward. At the same time let’s revisit our commitments to ending the year with strong growth. We have 8 full weeks of learning left in this year! Parents and guardians can help us keep the learning going by reminding students about the purpose of school and maintaining good routines at home. When we all work together students achieve more than they believe they can.  

Remember – our spring workshop series on race and equity begins THIS WEEK. Our first workshop is Wednesday night and is hosted via Zoom. Information about the workshops is included below. We would like to know how many people plan to attend. Please sign up here. 

Join us Saturday, April 15, for our 1st Plant & Seed Swap & garden work day! Bring your extra plants and seeds and swap them with other FSI families and members of the local community, and help us rescue plants from gardens around our modular buildings so they can be relocated to new homes! 

Plan ahead for our Open Mic event! On Monday, April 17, FSI music department is hosting an Open Mic at Doc Brown’s BBQ, 6 – 8 pm. This event is open to anyone, not just music students! Come out for a fun evening at one of FSI family-owned businesses! 

This Week’s Reasons for Optimism

The week before spring break was filled with evidence that our students are achieving at high levels. Achievement isn’t just about getting good grades or high scores on tests. It’s about making a difference in the world, finding a cause, and taking action. On Tuesday, March 28, FSI students hosted their 2nd TEDX Youth event. Students ran this entire event, from securing a space, finding corporate sponsors, recruiting speakers – every last detail. About half the speakers were FSI students and they owned the stage that night (the adults were amazing and inspirational too!). Speaking about topics that mattered – from overcoming adversity of an injury, to dealing with depression and excelling as an introvert in an extroverted world (I hear you!), to living as a trans youth – they taught us about the powerful force of disruption.  To everyone involved, congratulations! Your effort made a difference.

Then on Friday, high school students were invited to plan a vigil in recognition of Transgender Visibility Day. It was the most powerful student-organized vigil I have witnessed. Thirty-two students gathered in a group on the front field, surrounded by about half our high school students and many staff members. The 32 students each held a candle. One by one, they extinguished their candle and kneeled, symbolizing the 32 known murders of transgender people in the US last year. When the last student kneeled, the rest of us joined hands and came together in a circle around them. It was beautiful, powerful, and authentic. To all involved, thank you for your courage. You are making a difference. 

If you spend too much time reading the news, hope is hard to find. But when you spend time with our youth, hope is abundant.

She is the Founder and Principal of CultureValue, LLC, a DEI consulting firm that supports organizations throughout WNC and the country. At the heart of the CultureValue, LLC (CV) approach is dialogue, and a recognition that much of our polarization is tied to our collective failure to engage in dialogue.

April 19, 6 – 9 pm: Building Bridges Talk Back Workshop @ FSI

Building Bridges will facilitate this in-person workshop. We will watch a film together and then engage in a dialogue about racism. Building Bridges is a local organization that works to dismantle and disrupt racism, one conversation at a time. We are excited to bring them to FSI!

Danae Aicher will join us in person to facilitate a Listening Session on racism and inequality within our community. The Listening Session will be held at FSI in our new building;specific room to be determined.

Special Incentive to Attend!

We are offering a fun incentive to encourage participation in our Racism & Inequality workshops. Students will earn one point for each family member who attends each workshop. If you have more than one student at FSI, we will count points for each student – no need to choose which student gets the point!  The middle and high school Crew with the most points will be treated to a party with fun local food treats, including chef-selected cucumber canapes by Chef Rakim Gaines (of Capella 9) and Buggy Pops ice pops by Neomi Negron. Thank you to our parent/business partners for these great donations!  

Celebrating the local BIPOC community is another great step in your personal anti-racist journey! Grindfest is a free, 3-day event (May 26 – 28)  that celebrates the success of Black entrepreneurs + business owners in Asheville.  A block-party-style event will take place at 8 Rivers Arts Place! This includes a weekend full of music, games, live performance, food, local vendors + learning, employment, and partnership opportunities. The goal of the festival is to highlight the progress made by people of color while also connecting folks in the community. A long weekend of fun and excitement. 

Seed and Plant Swap April 15, 10 am – noon

It’s gardening season, which means we end up with extra plants and seeds we need to figure out what to do with, so let’s trade them with each other! We will be hosting our first ever plant and seed swap Saturday April 15th from 10am-12pm. Bring your extra plants and seeds and swap them with other FSI families and members of the local community. Our modulars will also be leaving soon, and we need help rescuing and moving plants from parts of our campus to others until they can be placed permanently. That means we will also have some extra plants that can be taken to help beautify your home! We will likely have extras of Iris, Penstemon, Hosta, Beauty Berry and a variety of other plants – we won’t really know until they are moved, and we found out how many we have! Bring tools and work gloves to move plants! Sign up here to attend:  https://fb.me/e/MNe0tZHh

7th Annual Filthy Franklin Mud Run! Sunday, May 7

Get your old(est) running shoes out and prepare to get seriously muddy! The Filthy Franklin Mud Run happens Sunday, May 7th. Our course is guaranteed to steal at least a few shoes before the day is done! This uniquely Franklin event embraces what is special and maybe even odd about our campus by creating a muddy obstacle course race like nothing you will find anywhere else! 

The races will be a timed trial start and there will be crazy obstacles and lots of mud!! Teen and adult races are approximately 2 miles, children 10 and under run just under a mile. Of course, the army crawl and mud trench will be part of this again, as well as other various challenging obstacles!

The Mud Run raises funds for Bolts Athletics. It helps fund equipment, uniforms and facilities. It is planned and created by Community Council members and student-athletes. OH YEAHHH!

Register by April 12th to receive a free t-shirt. After the deadline, T-shirts can be purchased the day of the event for $20. Limited quantities. We will have race day registration as well (just no t-shirt)

Thank you to our sponsors who help make the Mud Run possible! 

Want to help sponsor the Mud Run? Sponsorship levels begin at $250. Email Ann-Marie Breen for more information – breenle@charter.net

Passage Presentations, April 26 & April 27

On April 26, students in grades 8 and 10 will present their Passage Portfolios. Passages are an important part of our EL Education school model. These formal presentations are an opportunity and an expectation for students to reflect and demonstrate their readiness to move on to the next level of their education. Passages are so important that we disrupt our normal school schedule to make them possible. Students in all other grades will have a remote learning day on April 26 to allow the space and time for Passages to take place. 

We are looking for volunteers to serve as Passage panelists! Each student presents their portfolio to an audience that includes their Crew leader, a school representative, and a community panelist. Panelists will provide feedback to students. As a panelist, you will have a rubric to guide you and you will be working collaboratively with other members of the panel. It’s an amazing birds-eye view into the achievements and growth of our students. We need many volunteers to support this undertaking! Please sign up here if you are interested and able to help: April 26 Passage Panelist Volunteer Sign Up

We are also seeking panelists for Senior Passages. Seniors will present Senior Passages on the evening of Thursday, April 27th from 6-8 PM. Seniors will present their culminating Passage Portfolios to a panel of faculty, staff, families, and community members. If you are interested in being a panelist for this event, please complete this Google form. We are looking for 30-40 volunteers. Please reach out to Alex Humphrey (ahumphrey@thefsi.us) with questions or concerns. Senior Passages is a graduation requirement for all seniors.
