Welcoming Back Our Graduates: Lee Chisholm's Retirement Celebration

Pictured above: Over 100 friends, faculty, and graduates gathered to celebrate Lee's 14 years of teaching at FSP. Many of the graduates and current students who attended are pictured with Lee next to the maple tree planted in his honor.

Beloved teacher, Lee Chisholm, retired at the close of the school year. Graduates from FSP's first 15 years traveled from near and far to celebrate him! Lee began the tradition at FSP to plant a tree for each graduating class. Our small orchard has been moved from our first home on Mackworth Island to the home of our own in Cumberland. In his honor, graduates planted a sugar maple tree up on the hillside that looks over the orchard of graduates whose lives he has touched. 

Thank you for joining our special simple evening of celebrating Lee's many years of effort and love spent at Friends School of Portland.
