In 1996 on a cold November day, Ikea McGriff was born. She was born to the parents of Carolyn Overs and Wayne McGriff, who lived together with ikea’s older brother Lavell a her father’s kids from a marriage before. Going up in Minnesota was a pretty good time for ikea, she went to Hall Elementary school. She started that school in high-five then stayed at the school until the fourth grade.  After that school year, things changed and the mother decided to move her and her daughter to Des Moines, Iowa. In Iowa ikea knew no one other than her family. In the fifth grade ikea started school at a brand new school that had just been built called, George Washington Carver Elementary school on the east side of town. In the middle of the school year, we moved to Johnston Iowa where she ended changing schools again called Johnston Elementary School for the rest of fifth grade. Then after fifth grade you get switched to Summit Middle School witch was just for sixth and seventh grades. After Summit you moved to the 8/9 building witch is just for eighth graders and freshman. After the 8/9 building everyone moves on to the actual high school called Johnston High School. Where the tenth through twelfth graders are.
