# 1: Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School - 2016
I visited OLF for their book fair back in February just days after my book was released. It is incredible to go back to my old elementary school after graduating in 2013. OLF is very special to me because The Crystal Chronicles was born in their classrooms and was developed out in their schoolyard. I remember it so well!! A big thank you to my Fatima fam <3
