Buh-bye to elementary school!

Ian's elementary school career is coming to a close.  This is his last week at Fairview Elementary where he has attended since kindergarten.  That's 7 years!  It's been a wonderful experience and the great, amazing days definitely outnumbered the more challenging, difficult ones. 

I am proud of Ian.  His enthusiasm for school, love of learning, and exuberant personality came shining through the years.  I thought it would be fun do an exit interview and ask him about his time at Fairview.
