We look forward to seeing students tomorrow! Our teachers, staff, and PTO are working hard to bring joy and smiles to our students during December. The Macon County Schools app "Rooms" is a great place to look at often for school and classroom information. This week is Santa Shop and volunteers are needed.


East Franklin Elementary has connected with Mitchell Elementary School to help support their needs from the effects of Hurricane Helene. Areas of Mitchell County were heavily impacted with many suffering staggering losses. If you would like to support and encourage families impacted by Hurricane Helene, Mitchell Elementary has a “Care Closet” that has great needs. You may either purchase directly from Amazon to send items to their school or bring donations to East Franklin Elementary. We will receive donations from December 2nd-December 6th here at school. Below is the link to their Amazon Care Closet wish list. Items purchased from the list through Amazon, will go directly to their school.
