Bernice Franchino

Mrs. Franchino was my Principal at Bradley Gardens and JFK. I don't think it would be appropriate here but what she did for me was well past above and beyond. God bless her. There are people who were only meant to do good things for other people. She exemplified the Christian ethic. Thank you, Mrs. Franchino.

At Bradley Gardens Elementary, Mrs. Franchino offered us the world. When I think of how things used to be better in schools, I think of her and all wonderful teachers there. Godspeed, Mrs. Franchino.

Bernice was a fantastic principal. She would always listen to you when you needed to vent. She allowed and encouraged you to be creative as long as you taught the basic and had discipline. She made Bradley Gardens a FAMILY school by understanding parent's and children's problems and actively, quietly on the Q T helping them. She and Alice Barbo would spend their own money buying clothes and other things for those in need. Even retired she would remember little anecdotes about teachers and...

She was the best principal ever had. I would like to say I can see her as if it were yesterday. You are a great part of many lives. RIP

I remember Mrs Franchino as our principal at Bradley Gardens School. She was also a friend of my fathers family. I am sure she will be greatly missed. She was a beautiful person.
