| What do you think of pre-HS graduation ceremonies (kindergarten, 5th & 8th grade, etc.) When you were in school, did your class have these kinds of graduation ceremonies? I recall my 5th grade graduation and how the principal got up and said that, while it's a moment to be proud of, to not look at it as being on par with a high school graduation. Afterwards, I remember my mom saying she thought that was a petty thing for her to say. | |

| We had kinder grad, and my son did too.
But they don't have 8th grade grad, but we did. It was huge. I hated it. I hated every ceremony like that because I had to worry about Mom passing out in the heat. | |

| I don't recall having a Kindergarten graduation.
I didn't have a 5th grade one either.
Our class was supposed to have an 8th graduation, but the school board decided against having a graduation ceremony that year. It was a pretty big deal, students protested and "threatened" to walk out on finals. I don't remember how it all ended but we ended up getting a "certificate" for our completion, instead of the diploma. The next year they decided to bring back the ceremony. Sucks out of all my friends and family, older/younger, they all have diplomas for their 8th grade graduation, I don't. | |

| No 5th grade grad ceremony for our school. 8th, yes, and it was okay. I remember all of us being jazzed at phasing into high school next (junior high were my worst years all-around). | |

I remember my brother telling me that 6th and 8th grades would be the worst, and 6th definitely was but I don't recall 8th being particularly terrible. | |

| I only had 8th grade and High School graduations. I think its pretty silly myself having 5th grade or 6th grade and kindegarten graduations. In my family when a kid graduates no matter what the grade they have to celebrate renting a hall, catering etc., you would think the kid was getting married! | |

| I didn't have a 5th grade one, but I did have kindegarten and 8th grade. I don't see a problem with them at all. | |

| I had a K and fifth grade graduation, but not one for the eight grade. For eighth grade, we had an honors night, which was kind of treated like a graduation ceremony, but technically wasn't. My daughter had kindergarten and fifth grade graduations as well, but didn't for eighth grade. | |

| 8th grade graduation was because we were no longer in grade school or Jr High. High school was next.The only thing I remember is the song we sang Land Of Hope And Glory, and a gawdawful picture of me in a perfectly horrid dress and my hair still in pin curls taken before grad. At least it wasn't the Wiffenpoof song like my cousin had to sing. | |

| I don't remember if I had a kindergarten graduation. I don't think so. I did have 8th grade and high school graduations. I loved the 8th grade grad because it was a precursor to the big step of going to high school. It was a very lovely ceremony too. Better than my high school or college graduation.
We had an 8th grade teacher who really know how to do it right. | |
