Grant and Spencer said goodbye to Ober elementary last Thursday. Both boys attended their regularly scheduled recess before class started and had the chance to see their friends and teachers for the last time. It was hard to do. I personally just wanted to get out of their but could see how important it was for the boys to see their school one last time.
Spencer said good-bye to Nicholas the boy he gave a Book of Mormon too. Also the one who kept punching him until I heard about it and had a chat with the teacher.
Josh had his last stroll up to the office, while waiting for me to sort out whatever needed sorting out with the office ladies.
Mrs. Shovelin one of grants favorite teachers came in for a picture. I am sure Grant was thrilled. He spent lot's of time in her office sharing his feelings with her. She was always there for him.
Goodbye to the lunchroom where Spencer and I sometimes joined Grant for lunch...or at least sat at the parent table while he stayed with his friends. I wish I would have joined him more in 2nd grade when he asked so much.
Goodbye to Mr. Jeremy the nice janitor that always gave Grant fist bumps and had nice things to say.
Grant didn't want to pose for a picture in the garden area. It was too emotional for him. That about broke my heart.
Goodbye wonderful bright white walls with adorable artwork that Grant tells me never displayed his because Mrs. Berman would not put it up. :(:(:(
I thought this little saying was very fitting for our circumstances.
The bathroom where a kid threatened to give Grant a swirly in a full urinal and end his life.
Recorder Karate, Mr. Leamy's recorder club. Something Grant was so excited about. Too bad Mr. Leamy freaked us out so much that we were never comfortable with our children around him. I won't miss that.
The door of Grants first grade teacher Mrs. Jenkins. Grant said she was really nice and liked her a lot.
Sweet Mrs. Lampron. Grant clearly loves her and she gave him a very loving goodbye.
I have never been so glad to leave a place in my life. It was an end to a really bad chapter in my Son Grants life.

Grreat pictures-all of them. Fun to see what you are doing and the children's accomplishments. New school sounds like a great option to me. Hope it goes well. Loved your pictures of the temple too!
