This week hundreds of Franklin school children head to back to class for term 2 after two week’s rest and relaxation for the Easter school holidays.
Gosh, they went quick, perhaps that’s because the Easter stats and Anzac Day fell conveniently in between.
Working parents will be letting out a sigh of relief as their broods march back to school - speaking from experience, child care for two weeks straight can be a bit of struggle to organise.
Thank goodness in Franklin we are spoilt for choice with school holiday options aplenty for all ages.
And as the kids head back to school, there’ll be more traffic on our roads and children crossing paths to get to school.
Take extra care on the roads this week around schools, remember the littlies can dart out of nowhere into the path of traffic.
Julie :)

Have your say below.
Hi neighbours,
