Dear Reader,
Everyone at Roosevelt Elementary was able to contribute ideas for this story about Franklin. We received so many creative ideas that we could have written an entire chapter book! It was difficult to narrow the ideas down into a shorter story. As we reviewed everyone’s suggestions, we noticed common themes and used those ideas to create the story you are about to read.
Students contributed drawings, too. (Their names are listed on the last page.)
We included student drawings and had AI (Artificial Intelligence) create a few drawings, but we wish student drawings could replace the AI drawings... Maybe you are that student who could draw the illustrations we need!
We love having Franklin as our mascot. We hope you enjoy reading about Franklin’s return to the new Roosevelt Elementary!
Sincerely,
The Editing Team
Mrs. Hales, Miss Andi, and Miss Molly
