Franklin School celebrates and remembers the legacy of Mrs. Pelton, a beloved kindergarten teacher and cherished colleague. Mrs. Pelton dedicated 40 years of her life to teaching at Franklin, inspiring countless students, teachers, and staff along the way.
Today, balloons in Mrs. Pelton’s favorite color swayed gently outside her former classroom and in the garden dedicated to her, paying tribute to her impact on the school community.
Mrs. Pelton will forever be remembered and loved by her Franklin School family. 💜
