On Friday, March 27, Franklinville Elementary School partnered with the town of Franklinville for the second year in a row for Cardinal Career Day, a one-day event featuring a walking tour of the town that showcased the wide range of career opportunities available to students in the community and how they connect to the global marketplace.
Students traveled with their teachers and chaperones to locations around the park and downtown Franklinville, rotating every twenty minutes to visit a total of 15 career stations. Stops included the Franklinville Fire Department, Franklinville Town Hall, Franklinville United Methodist Church fellowship hall, and Franklinville Post Office.
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department and Franklinville Fire Department helped ensure student safety throughout the day. We are grateful to the many community partners and volunteers who shared their time and career experiences, as well as to our sponsors for providing student shirts and a snack from the Franklinville Diner at no cost. After returning to school, students enjoyed lunch and completed follow-up activities to reflect on their experience.

🌈 Autism Acceptance Week is COMING NEXT WEEK (March 30th-April 2nd)! 🌈
Cardinal Families,
We are excited to celebrate Autism Acceptance Week at our school March 30th-April 2nd! This special week is a time for us to learn, grow, and show kindness as we recognize and celebrate the unique strengths and differences that make each of us special.
Autism Acceptance Week helps us understand that everyone learns, communicates, and experiences the world in their own way—and that’s something to be appreciated and respected.
We encourage students and staff to participate in our spirit days (details below) as a way to show support and acceptance:
🧦 Monday: Neurodiversity Day- Wear your bright, fun, mismatched socks to be unique!
💙 Tuesday: Sensory Day- Be comfortable and wear your PJs to school (school appropriate, please)!
🤝 Wednesday: Team up for Autism- Wear your favorite team jersey or school colors!
🌈 Thursday: We are inclusive- Wear red, blue, or an Autism shirt!
Families can support Autism Acceptance Week by talking with their children about kindness, understanding, and celebrating differences. Together, we can build a school community where everyone feels valued, included, and accepted.

Thank you for keeping our Cardinals safe, building positive connections with our families, and helping each school day begin and end on a great note. ❤️
