September, being filled with Homecoming events, we wanted to give you give you a sense of what 'coming home' means to students who recently graduated. My guests, Emily, Drayton and Lincoln sat in the computer lab they once graced in seventh grade, and shared some poignant thoughts on the impact of Benjamin Franklin High School: The musicals they were in, the teachers they will never forget, their hobbies, and the school no-cellphone policy.

Sure, students love movies. But why would they spend their lunch recess in a classroom watching old movies? "Klicker's Classic Movie Club" is actually a club at Benjamin Franklin High School. They come here to explore various genres of movies. From "Gone with the wind," to "Princess bride" and everything in between.

In this podcast hosted by history teacher Jason Klicker, you'll hear from two seniors, Grayson and Leslie, about why they enjoy this activity and what they get out of classic movies.

His on-ramp was data science and geochemistry, but there are many other hats Dr. David Collings wears at Benjamin Franklin Charter Schools. Born in England, his career took him to South America and Africa before he came to the US. Before he departs on another exciting sojourn--Mongolia!--we wanted to catch up with someone who has always felt the pull of the Franklin magnetic field.
