Hey, neighbors! It's me again, Sean Peek, your host of the Franklin Daily.


First, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 42 Low: 21.


Here are the top 4 stories today in Franklin:

  1. Franklin High School is creating a new courtyard to honor the legacy of the past, present, and future students and faculty. To help build this outdoor space, members of the community can purchase and personalize a brick that will be used as a part of the courtyard. There are two personalization options: option one includes text without a logo or clipart, and option two includes text with a logo or clipart. (Williamson Source)
  2. Jeep Club of Stone Rivers has been providing transportation to Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital workers during the inclement winter weather that has struck Middle Tennessee. Healthcare workers were in need of rides to and from work and members of the Jeep Club stepped in to help, driving individuals from as far as Spring Hill. This is the second year that the Jeep Club has helped Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital with transportation. (tntribune.com)
