A Message from Elementary Assistant Principal Aric Gomez:
Dear BFA Community,
I want to offer a deep, heartfelt thank you to the BFA community–thank you! For the last seven years, I have been blessed to work in an amazing place surrounded by a truly loving staff, caring community, and joy-filled students. At the end of the 2023-24 school year, I will be retiring from my public education career. It has been an incredible journey and I thank BFA for allowing me to finish my career at an educational institution of such high quality. I have given many tours to prospective BFA families over the years; and I start every tour by stating that I have worked in many high achieving and great schools throughout my career, but that BFA is by far the best and most impressive school I have ever worked at. I don’t say those words lightly to draw in new families. I say those words because I truly believe it and have experienced the magic of this school. Ben Franklin Academy is an amazing treasure! I won’t be far as I call the southern suburbs my home. I look forward to seeing many BFA families at community events, stores, restaurants, in church and on the soccer pitch. 🙂
Take Care and God Bless,
Aric Gomez
A Message from Principal Simpson:
Dear Parents,
We are sad to see Mr. Gomez retire at the end of this school year. He’s been an integral part of BFA’s success for the past seven years. We’re hopeful that we will find ways for him to remain a part of our BFA family for years to come. We plan to post his position in the upcoming weeks, and will be sure to keep our community updated during the process of selecting a new Elementary Assistant Principal. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Simpson
