Mrs. Danielle Ferris, Jayden's Special Guest










Today we had the honor of spending the morning with Jayden's special guest.  He invited his mom, Danielle Ferris.  We were very lucky that we have already met Mrs. Danielle a few times because she has come to some of our class parties.  Jayden's mom is from upstate New York and because it was so cold there she really loves to be on the beach now that she lives here.  She told us about two jobs that she has had.  The first job was a job she had while she was a student at Coastal Carolina University studying business finance.  That job was Jayden's favorite job and it was working at Medieval Times.  She was the princess there and she brought her crown that she wore and we all pretended that we were royalty too as we held it.  Her current job is as a financial advisor for Edward Jones.  We spent some time talking about what a financial advisor does and Mrs. Ferris also brought us coloring books about saving and spending.  Jayden and his mom enjoy doing a lot of things together like reading, cooking, playing sports, going to the beach, and playing with their Boxer dog named Jazz.  It was great getting to know you, Mrs. Ferris, and we can't wait to see you again soon!
