It's the night before the first day of school. Nervous anticipation and excitement sets in.
Thoughts of "This will be the year I...." run through my head.
Are all of my supplies and materials ready?
What will the year hold for me?

United Way of Franklin County, Franklin County School District and the Boys & Girls Club have partnered to collaborate on a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Imagination lab to invest in the future of local children and the community.
The STEAM Imagination Lab will be housed at Franklinton Middle School but available to the entire school district as a destination for learning.

Every year the Grand Chapter of North Carolina, Order of The Eastern Star (OES) Scholarship Committee accepts recommendations from each of its chapters for students of OES and Masonic members that will be going to college in the fall or who are attending college. This year William B. Barrow Chapter No. 39 in Louisburg was selected to present scholarship awards to three students. The certificates were presented at a covered dish supper at the James A. Johnson Lodge in Louisburg recently.
