FERGUSON PREPARES TO SET SAIL BY TRICIA SIMPSON Estella Ferguson, better known as Mrs. Ferguson, is retiring. She has been working at De Kalb for 15 years. As a counselor, she hears many things throughout the day. Many people think she just helps kids emotionally and mentally, but she does so much more. She is always there to talk about school related problems, such as grades or missing assignments. With everything on her plate, she also helps and makes every student’s schedule for them every year. With Mrs. Ferguson being so familiar to all of us, it’s going to be a significant change when she leaves our school. Her favorite part about working here is “I love the kids, I love the staff and the administrators, I love it all." People might think she is here to get us in trouble or make sure we aren’t being bad, but she is here to make sure we feel loved and cared for. Mrs. Ferguson’s son graduated from De Kalb in the past, and her favorite memory is “Getting to hand him his diploma." Although Mrs. Ferguson has had many memories and great times here at De Kalb, sometimes change is good. After she leaves, she has big plans. She and her husband plan on traveling a lot. While new things are happening, she will always miss working here and being around everyone. “I’m going to miss the camaraderie and everybody - seeing everybody and the hugs." If you see Mrs. Ferguson, be sure to give her a thank you and a hug for everything she has done for us. She has done more for us than we all know and it goes unseen. Thank you, Mrs. Ferguson.
