The North Franklin School District in Washington faces significant financial challenges for the 2025-26 school year due to declining enrollment and the end of temporary federal COVID relief funds. Superintendent Brian Moore highlights rising operational costs, with a loss of approximately $500,000 in funding due to enrollment drops over five years.

The May 15 event at the museum drew over 200 attendees as the community celebrated the near completion of the C-Street Vault project, which requires $150,000 to finish before Connell Days. Fundraising efforts raised nearly $20,000, contributing to transforming a historic building into a hotel and restaurant.
