Updated with final score and final total.
| A faculty vs. student game to raise money for the class of 2025 brought a Franklin basketball icon back to the bench.

| The game itself was mostly fun and for a few light-hearted digs at each other, but the real cause was to raise money to be used towards class trips and other events for the class of 2025. |  |
They managed to raise $1,200 and the organizers were very happy with the turnout. "The Franklin Community members really came through to support us," said Bridget Wood, a class of 25 adviser.
A slam dunk contest as well as a couple of raffles took place. No one managed to win the TV by hitting a layup, a free throw and three three pointers in 30 seconds.
