Waukesha West class of 2025 | Ian

May 5

Written By Abbie

Welcome to the first of many stories about the class of 2025. I love this time of year because it’s when the anticipation begins - ok, well, accelerates - toward the end of the school year. Which, for these kids, is a completely different experience than they’ve ever had before.

Some of the kids will stay close to home and work, some may go into the miltary, some go to college - near and far. But whatever their path, it’s unknown and unfamiliar. They are an open book, ready to write their next chapter.

And so, I am thrilled to introduce you to the class of 2025 … starting with Ian from Waukesha West. I am sure this will not end well for his mom, Wendy, but I have a little surprise… back from the year 2018.

Ohmigosh wasn’t Ian just so adorable? I mean, he still is, but he was just so little back then! Check these out…

Okay, mom, dry your eyes, because here is Ian as a high school senior…
