I am in tears....eleven years ago when I started at Franklin I set this as a goal for myself and the amazing school we have..this happened because of the amazing team and families we have! I am truly blessed!

Superintendent @susalcido visited Franklin School and shared that it was clear that students receive individualized attention, support, and instruction. Every child SOARS at Franklin. Thank you Casie Killgore, Valerie Galindo, & Dr. Ramirez. @sbunified

So proud of our village that they allow@me to lead. Years ago, we said “watch us soar” and our dedication staff has made it happen! #bestkeptsecret

For decades, Franklin Elementary has been one of the lowest-performing schools. A massive surprise came this year, though: When the standardized test scores were announced, Franklin students had the highest improvement of any school in the district. https://t.co/tM9qALI9r9

Nothing like walking on campus when its empty. Different viewpoint when halls are filled with kids!

Always love watching new readers show off their skills to our furry friends!!! Thanks to ARF!

[KC Killgore @KCKillgore]

Love our school after the sun goes down. Tonight we had @ArtsandLectures hosting mariachi workshop along with our regular karate class, @sbunified PEAC tutoring, and banda group practice. @CADeptEd awarded us the Gold Ribbon Award for this work in 2016 and still going strong!

[KC Killgore @KCKillgore]

@BillyBaldwin So grateful for our new connection!!!

[KC Killgore @KCKillgore]

Week 2 wouldn’t be complete without an amazing donation by @BillyBaldwin that will add amazing sounds to our music room. It makes everyone at @watchussoar feel special as he walked the halls!

When I started @watchussoar 11 years ago...I told the parents about stereotypes about Latino parents and how we were going to be prove that they don’t exist. Here is Back to School Night of a school that is 98% Latino and 100% Free/Reduced Lunch... oh and 58% Proficient!

[KC Killgore @KCKillgore]

After the children started school, we were able to catch up during Coffee and Questions with the principal! I missed these moms!@watchussoar have the best families!

[KC Killgore @KCKillgore]

Year 11 ...Here we go! I have been blessed to be part of our school community. Three focus words of the year...sustain, self-care and applications. More to come!

[KC Killgore @KCKillgore]

You know it’s going to be a good year when @calvarysb provided your school a facelift before the year begins!
