Dear Mr. Bloomgarden: I vividly remember my first encounter with you and Mr. Foy. You pointed at my huge pregnant belly and said “you know I’m separating the twins, right?”. Best advice ever! Thank you for the many years of service, the morning hellos, and even the laughs when we shared the stage during Books Alive.

Wishing you and your family all the best!

Best wishes on your retirement !!! Thank you for all the years of creating an incredible environment for our kids to learn, smile, and thrive ! I still remember when I discussed my concerns about Brett not reading well ( probably in kindergarten knowing me lol) and you used the metaphor about popcorn - that when he’s ready to start reading, the kernels will just start popping !!- one of your many words of wisdom and advice that got all of us through times of need! We were all extremely blessed to have you looking after our kids and making sure they got the best start in their education and lives - Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - We wish you all the best always !!!!

Teachers and administrators have the power to mold minds and shape hearts. When I saw your name as principal of North Side, the first thing that came to mind was what an amazing teacher you were with Mrs. Weiner at Denton Ave in 1993. Fast forward 25 years, it was incredible that our children would also be influenced by your kindness, tenacity, and dedication. Thank you for your patience and love. We wish you many years of joy and adventure as a retiree!

Dr. Mr Bloomgarden,

Thank you for your leadership in making northside such a warm and welcoming place. We have definitely felt it. When we first transitioned into the school district we were nervous but it has been such an amazing experience to be a part of the northside community. I still remember our conversation about you being a coop alum like my kids, and thinking how lucky we were to feel the same warmth of the coop here at northside! Have a wonderful and well deserved retirement!

Mr Bloomgarden,

Today's incredible fourth grade graduation ceremony was a testament to the kind of school you created over the past years, and Antonio and Siena are so blessed to have been a part of it under your leadership! Your sense of humor and nurturing, unwavering care made all the children feel at home from the very first day. Your letters home always put a smile on my face and put us at ease, especially during unprecedented times like Covid! In the eye of the storm, you were the calm that guided us with clarity and direction. We wish you every happiness during your well-deserved relaxation time ahead! Thank you for the very hard work you put in each day of the year for the benefit of our children who will never forget you!
