I do think kindergarten and 1st grade might get a kick out of it.

kindergarten graduation - how dressy?
my son is graduating in 2 days from kindergarten. his note to parents says to wear "dressy" dress. how dressy would you all go? i don't want him under dressed but not over dressed either. also, i have had a hard time finding a good "children's tie". any ideas? i found some in those prepackaged shirts/ties combos but none were his size and long sleeved. we are in Texas so we are already hitting 90s so didn't want the long sleeves. i just got him some dockers, docker shoes, and nice dress shirt but dh says he needs a tie.
FYI, just last week we bought my 8th grader a dress to wear to her band concert (at this school the 8th graders are in high school band). i kid you not, 90% of the females in the concert were wearing formal dresses for the concert. wow, i know my daughter felt out of place and i felt it for her. we just moved here a few months ago so i had no idea these girls would wear formals to a band concert and this is a very small 2A country school. so this is why i am wanting my son to not be over or under dressed and wondering what most normally do and if the norms have changed in the last few years.
Sorry, based on above posts of others, figured the average age was kindergarten! Am I too old??
I'm not an offshore supporter - Why aren't you big and brave enough to post YOUR real name on here and then we can all take pot shots at YOU by name. Or are we scared to do that??? Wah, wah...
I agree with you. I had a kindergarten graduation back in ྉ...sm
But it was really casual, our caps were cardboard and yarn, and it was very short. I think the parents had to sit on the little kindergarten-sized chairs. I didn't want to do it because I was very shy and terrified of being in front of people, LOL. But we had nothing else after that till the real graudation from high school. I don't get the significance of grad from 6th or 8th grades, either. It makes them come to expect rewards for EVERY accomplishment no matter how small. That stops abruptly when you get out of school!
