Goodbye, elementary school!

It's hard to believe, but Max is all done with elementary school. It has been an amazing journey at John Muir watching him grow from a shy kindergartner who once cried when the teacher read a stroy about parents to a sassy fifth grader who sometimes made his parents cry! We're proud of all he's acomplashed and the young man he's become. We're especially proud of how hard he's worked during these final three months at home. 

Next stop... middle school! 

First, a look back at Max's last week! 

First day of kindergarten to one of the last days of 5th grade. Notice any difference?! 

We had to take the blue door pics.  Note the boys school shirts... no more uniforms for Max!

This little critter is off to 2nd grade

We ❤️ John Muir!

Congrats Max!

Go Sam O!

John Muir held a drive-thru graduation celebration at the school for the 5th graders

Sign of the times!

Firing off poppers to celebrate

We were able to keep our last day of school ice cream from Full Tilt tradition alive 

Max chose poke for his special graduation dinner  

The boys got remote control cars and LED lights for their bike wheels as graduation presents and recognition for all their hard work these past few months

Then they rode off into the night to start their summer and bright future ahead
