It is with sadness that we share with you that the father of one of our K-3 students passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, October 8th. Phoenix Ferreira Ford's father, Julius Ford, left his wife, Debora Ferreira Ford, newly born baby son Onyx, Phoenix and a community of loving family and friends. His family and community celebrated his life and mourned his loss on Tuesday, October 13th. (You may have seen his very accomplished and deeply impacting presence highlighted in the obituary offered in the Gazette.)
