Skylar's last day of third grade

And this past June ended Skylar's third grade year, as well as his last day in a public school.  We enjoyed saying goodbye to a lot of his favorite teachers and people throughout Pioneer School.  It was a happy, yet sad moment for the both of us.  Everyone has been super this year and with our coming move, it was a bitter-sweet moment for him.  Here is a recap of his last day.

We made a year-end gift for his teacher and she was so thrilled to receive it.  

You can use this gift tag for just about anyone that has helped your child grow.  You can pick up the how-to from Skip to my Lou.

Skylar said goodbye to the school secretary and to his wonderful teacher.  She has been so great this year we will miss her dearly!

What a great year for my little Bean!

Eco-Tip:  Growing and eating your own food is a great way to go green.  Simple vegetables and fruits, or even berries can be started in your own area, no matter where you live.  Tomatoes work for tight spaces, and beans can work even inside your home.  Look into ways to grow something that you and your family can take advantage of this year; It's not too late!  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
