Fulgenzi was remembered at the ceremony for his adventurous spirit and as a beacon of enthusiasm and kindness for students, colleagues, and the community at large.
Students, staff, family, and community members gathered on the lawn of Forrest Bird Charter School on Thursday to celebrate the life of former Principal Eric Fulgenzi, who passed away at age 41 in July.
“Eric was more than a colleague. He was a friend,” Holly Walker, FBCS art teacher, told the crowd. “I had the honor of working alongside Eric for 10 years, and he continued to inspire me year after year.”
Walker remembered Fulgenzi’s “caught being kind” stickers offered to students silently brightening days and his “golden box of good,” where students and staff could report acts of goodness they witnessed.
