Mrs. Emerson’s first graders put their thinking caps on as they worked together to build words using large letter cards! Students had to listen carefully to each sound, think about which letters belonged, and collaborate with their classmates to build each word. We love seeing our Bulldogs learning, thinking, and working together!

Way to go, Bulldogs! 🐾💙

How cool is this! Former FTCSC Flashes Community students are coming back home, but this time they are not sitting in the classroom; they are standing at the front of it, Making A Difference for the next generation of Flashes!

This year, we are excited to welcome a large number of Franklin Central graduates back home to work throughout our FTCSC Flashes Community!

We recently sat down with four of those graduates, Samantha Williams, Grace Wilson, Lola Reddick, and Dion Smith, to learn more about their journey back to FTCSC, the teachers and staff who Made A Difference in their lives, and how those experiences are now shaping the way they serve their own students.

Each of their stories is different, but they all have something pretty special in common. Someone at FTCSC believed in them, encouraged them, helped them see what they were capable of becoming, and Made A Difference in their lives! Now, they have the opportunity to do the same for the next generation of Flashes!

That is pretty awesome! Read more about Samantha, Grace, Lola, and Dion and what brought them back home to our FTCSC Flashes Community:

To celebrate the end of their Tall Tale & Fairytale unit, students dressed up as their favorite characters and had fun showing off what they’ve learned. From classic fairytales to larger-than-life tall tale characters, our second graders brought plenty of imagination to the day!

A fun way to wrap up a great unit! 💙🐾

At Bunker Hill, some of the most meaningful moments happen in the little things. 💙🐾

A smile in the hallway. A quick high-five. A laugh shared between a student and a staff member. A simple moment that reminds a child, “You are known. You are valued. You are loved.”

We are one big school family, and we treasure these everyday moments of connection with our Bulldogs. Because while academics are important, the relationships we build along the way are what make The Hill feel like home.

Here’s to the smiles, the laughter, the high-fives, and all the little moments that make Bunker Hill so special!

Finding common ground, building something great! 🧩💙

Mrs. Aping’s third graders spent some time getting to know one another through a fun round of Common Ground! Working in small groups, students discovered things they had in common, recorded their connections on index cards, and then used those cards to build the tallest tower they could.

But the real goal? Building a classroom family. From finding connections to working together, these Bulldogs were learning that when everyone brings something to the group, amazing things can be built!

What a wonderful way to start the year—finding common ground, building each other up, and growing together! 🐾💙

30 backpacks turned into 58 opportunities to Make A Difference! A huge thank you to Fischer Homes and their Indianapolis team for donating 58 backpacks filled with school supplies to support students in our FTCSC Flashes Community!

Through Fischer Homes’ company-wide “Pack To Give Back” initiative, their Indianapolis team set a goal of collecting 30 backpacks for our FTCSC Flashes Community Students. They did not just meet that goal, they nearly doubled it!

We are incredibly thankful for community partners like Fischer Homes who come alongside our schools to support our students and families. It is through Meaningful Collaboration like this that we continue to strengthen our FTCSC Flashes Community and Make A Difference for our students.
