Parent Council

Each parent or guardian of an Elmwood Franklin student is a member of the Parent Council.
​

The mission of Parent Council is to support and sponsor Elmwood Franklin School’s programs, projects, events and activities. We strive to encourage communication between administration and Parent Council members by sharing matters of mutual concern, working together on fundraising events and encouraging involvement by all parents in the school community.

Passive Fundraising

Throughout the year the Parent Council sponsors several passive fundraising opportunities to support EFS while you shop!
Picture
Mabel's Labels
Mabel’s Labels are personalized peel and stick labels that safely go in the laundry, dishwasher and microwave. They’re perfect for all your kids’ stuff—from shoes and clothes to water bottles, lunch boxes, backpacks, school supplies and more! When you shop, 20% of your purchase will be donated back to Elmwood Franklin School! Click here and enter Elmwood Franklin in the search bar to start.

Box Tops for Education
Box Tops is changing to fit today's families. The new and improved Box Tops mobile app scans your store receipt, finds participating products, and instantly adds Box Tops to our school's earnings online. 

While traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out of production, they can still be found on many products throughout the store. As long as they are not expired, you can clip and send them to school for submission.

Then, a percentage of those earnings are donated to Elmwood Franklin School. Join Giving Assistant now to start donating 3-30% of every purchase to EFS while you shop and save online.
