Congratulations to Mr. Ochoa for being "Caught" doing the right thing. Mr. Williams and Mr. Bradford both played basketball, and they both love a raffle. For the past two weeks they have been "catching" our students doing good around our campus and entering them into a drawing for a full size basketball hoop! #bpa #franklin #winnerwinner #houseprobitas
