- We had our Jazz Night outside. A huge wind storm came though almost knocking down speakers! Music started to fly everywhere. I was so amazed at how quickly we were able to tear down our set up and collect everything. It was a memorable night!

Favorite Ferris Memory
- One year for the Festival of the Arts we made close to life size paper-mache elephants. My student artists made a disco elephant with an afro, mirrors and bell bottoms. The idea made me groan but when it was done it stood out in the herd of 15 and was the most talked about. I learned to trust my students.
