Today was the start of something special! Centennial High School student-athletes visited Booker T. Washington for the first time as part of BTW’s PBIS Celebration.

About 20 Chargers joined elementary students on the playground for games, including basketball and football, as well as plenty of other fun activities. The moment the high schoolers stepped outside, BTW students’ faces lit up, and from there it was non-stop fun. From tying shoes to teaching monkey bars, playing tag, duck-duck-goose, and red light-green light, the Chargers brought incredible energy and kindness.

This was the first of many monthly visits, and we’re excited to see the positive relationships grow between Centennial and BTW students.

As part of Krannert’s Ellnora Guitar Festival, Franklin welcomed 18-year-old guitar phenom Grace Bowers for a special panel discussion with our very own music teachers, Abby Heras, General Music & Choir, Nick Schulze, Orchestra, and Jaime Escatel, Band.

Grace, fresh off her Grand Ole Opry debut and recently named Instrumentalist of the Year at the Americana Awards, shared her journey as a professional musician at just 18 years old. Together with our teachers, she inspired students with stories of passion, perseverance, and the joy of making music.

Huge thanks to Grace, Krannert, and our Franklin music team for creating such a memorable experience!
