Goodbye Third Grade

Last Friday was the last day of school. And not only was it the last day of third grade for Emma Jane, we were also saying goodbye to a building we hold dear. Mayo is moving in the fall to a new building over near the University of Tulsa. It is on Route 66 and closer to where I work so that is good. But it is a building designed for much older kids and I am nervous about little Lucy getting lost in that big place. We are all very excited about the move though because it means more students get to share the Mayo experience.

But back to the last day of school. It is a tradition at Mayo that if the fire department isn't out on a call they come to Mayo and hook up a water hose and create a big rain/splash pit. The students have snow cones and run through the water and scream and get muddy and it is officially the beginning of summer. I can't think of any better way to kick off summer or cap off the school year. This year, I decided to walk around her building and take pictures and say goodbye.

Goodbye locker...
