Charlie Ferris’ Last Day at Pinewood…

Well, the last day of school has come and gone (again) and summer is now upon us. This year was bitter sweet as we wished many well who were retiring this year from Pinewood Elementary School. I arrived that day with the goal of documenting the last day of one teacher in particular, Charlie Ferris. ...

What an awesome tribute to a wonderful and rare teacher! His style was different and unique and quite wonderful. Children and parents alike fell in love with Charlie! My son, Adam had the pleasure and good fortune to be one of Charlie’s kindergarteners. He was a tearful little 5 year old when he entered his classroom. Charlie had such a special way in dealing with him that was so tender and loving. He will never forget his kindergatren teacher! He is now 26 years old! We look forward to seeing Charlie around town for years to come!!! Congrats on your retirement, Charlie! Great to see the family also!!!

Lisa,
I want to thank you for the beautiful tribute to Charlie. It was, as usual, so touching and wonderful, as is all your work. I continue to be in awe of your art and talent in capturing such special moments. It has provided a very special avenue to reach out to the community that Charlie has devoted his teaching career to. The family picture you sent to Charlie will be a very special keepsake forever. I send hugs and thanks for all you’ve done and your generosity!

That was wonderful, Lisa! ♥ Even though Holly did not have him as a teacher, I was always touched that everytime he saw her, he said “Hello, Holly”, and knew her name. He is a very special man, & I will miss hearing him start everyday “Okay, Kings and Queens of Kindergarten…” (We heard that alot because we were always running a little late!) He will be very pleased when he sees your tribute!

I saw it last night and our whole family looked at it. Thanks so much for putting all the pictures up we all really enjoyed see his smiling face. John actually started crying after look at it. And it made my whole family really miss pollock.

I will never forget Kindergarten Orientation 18(?) years ago when we were preparing to send our oldest child off to school. Zachary was ready for new challenges, but it was all new to my husband and I and we were a bit nervous & unsure! Charlie spoke to a group of parents about his background, life experiences (i.e. being a veteran), education, etc., and then he stated that “the kindergarten classroom is THE Most Important Place for me to be” (or something to that effect!). Well, that true & heartfelt sentiment was all he needed to say to reassure us that our son would be in great hands!
Happy Retirement Charlie!
Appreciation & Hugs from the Leconte Family

Lisa, What a wonderful tribute to a great teacher! Suzanne shared teaching duties with him for many years until she graduated to 1st, 2nd then 3rd. We have always loved Mr. Ferris. You did such a wonderful story. It was very hard to see through the tears.

Lisa~He is on Facebook, but not sure how often he uses it, but luckily I do use it on a daily basis and can pass on any comments onto him. Thank you so much for documenting his last day. I had a hard time reading through the tears by then end of your blog. Thank you!

Kris Chapel Spiegelberg
Lisa that was absolutely beautiful. I cried. My children did not have him as their personal teacher. But he has touched our lives just by knowing him. He is a very lovely person indeed!!

Tina Hamilton Comer
Oh Lisa that is amazing! I have had the blessing of Charlie teaching 3 of my 4 children, two of which now grown. He was, is and always will be one of the greatest gifts to have entered my life.

Lisa I am so happy for you! You deserve it! Although I think you should be number one…but third in this whole area is fantastic!!!!

Viv and Eric - June 6, 2010 - 3:59 pm

Lisa, we are so happy for you and of course it’s well deserved! Your photos of our engagement and wedding are simply amazing – there are no better words to describe them. We are thrilled and so glad we found the best (you’re #1 to us!) We watched the video a friend taped of our wedding and I saw you through-out the video but strange that, except the getting ready and posed family photos, I don’t remember seeing you! Isn’t that funny?! But then that’s part of why the photos are so great – we weren’t aware they were being taken. The rest of the reason is that you have a special talent. We can’t thank you enough!

Leah Wecksler - June 6, 2010 - 12:01 pm

Yeah Lisa! What a great honor! Now you just have to help your sister in law get all those great pictures of our beautiful family off the computer.

Ginny and Jeff Crawford - June 2, 2010 - 9:28 pm

Congrats! We were lucky enough to find you for our wedding and I am so happy to hear that more people will hear of you so they have as wonderful of pics as we had!

admin - June 2, 2010 - 8:42 pm

Tara and Tony Little - June 2, 2010 - 7:02 pm

No one deserves this honor more than you!! And I probably should get something in the books now for Zoe’s 1 year as I bet you’ll be even more booked up this summer and fall!!! Congrats again Lisa

Cheers!
