The Franklin Special District highly values meaningful community partnerships that support our students and families. With this spirit of partnership in mind, the FSD has partnered with United4Hope to enhance donor and volunteer opportunities for Franklin/Williamson County communities of faith. No matter your church size, financial ability, or volunteerism pool, United4Hope will help encourage and provide a staff member to walk alongside your church as it partners with a school in the Franklin Special District. If you are unable to attend, we highly encourage you to send a representative from your church or set up a time to meet with Marian Campos at marian.campos@operationandrew.org
Is your church already partnered with a school in the FSD? Great, we can provide additional support to enhance your partnership. We love to celebrate churches who support public schools, and we would love to celebrate you throughout the year.

We invite you to do just that with us every second Wednesday of the month. Robin Barnes with Sounds for the Soul will create a peaceful sound immersion where you will allow the sound vibrations to wash over you and reset your frazzled nervous system. You will be eased into the experience with guided breath. So drop your kiddos off at school, invite a friend to join you and make your way to our welcoming space.
