ROXBURY TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – Franklin Elementary School has announced the permanent installation of a StoryWalk® along the path on the west side of the school.
StoryWalk® was created in 2007 by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, in collaboration with former staff member Rachel Senechal and is a way to promote early literacy, physical activity, and family time together in nature.
Franklin Media Specialist Sarah DiLorenzo explained, “It’s a fun and educational family activity that you can bring to your community! Take a stroll and enjoy successive pages from a children’s story along your path.”
Franklin’s StoryWalk® was made possible by Roxbury High School senior and Eagle Scout Candidate, Nick Blenx as his Eagle Scout Service Project.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to Nick and Boy Scout Troop 159 as well as Lowe’s, All Quality Fence, family and friends, and the Franklin PTA for their generous donations to make this project possible. Please enjoy our first book, Lawrence in the Fall by Matthew Farina and illustrated by Doug Salati. Books will change every two months.”
