    Favorite Ferris Memory

    •  The ELD Awards Ceremony at the end of the year is one of my favorites! I love to see the progress our students have made, not only with their English, but with their confidence. Many of our students begin new friendships and establish new goals for education beyond Ferris, and that is so exciting.
