Franklin Academy

We had a great FLI opening yesterday. The weather cooperated with cooler temperatures after last week’s heat wave. All 26 of our seniors and postgraduates – 14 young women and 12 young men arrived on schedule. Cindy, Vince, and Nancy (our Admissions Team) were there to greet everyone outside of the School House. I was ready with my camera to take photographs of students and parents. Meetings with FLI advisors and the completion of the registration checklist were quickly accomplished, and the move into the various FLI dormitories seemed smooth. After a fine buffet lunch, everyone gathered in the Great Room for an enthusiastic welcome, and seminars for parents followed as students began their orientation. When the busy day finally began to wind down, parents said their goodbyes and students enjoyed a barbecue dinner.
