The PTO is an integral part of the BFA community, whose mission is to seek resources to strengthen, enhance, and encourage the educational and social experience at Ben Franklin Academy. Since it began serving BFA, the PTO has raised funds to provide all manner of items for the school, including playground equipment, library books, a climbing wall, the outdoor classroom, and the MakerSpace as well as tools and resources needed by the teachers, staff and administration. In addition, we organize multiple social events to bring together the entire BFA community.
Each year, the parent community is asked to vote for open executive officer and committee chair positions. Your vote is important. Voting will be open from Tuesday, April 26, through Saturday, April 30. Each family unit is permitted to cast one vote per position. Election results will be announced at the PTO meeting on Sunday, May 15.
Thank you to everyone who accepted a nomination. We have a great slate of candidates! To view the candidate bios, please visit the PTO webpage, and click on PTO Elections.
