Ways to Celebrate the End of School

It's the end of another school year; what are some safe and fun ways that you can celebrate? The end of school marks another milestone for your child(ren). When you're growing up as a child, each school season/semester marks another point in your life, another obstacle you have achieved. For a parent, it marks how your child is growing and progressing. This is a special time and you can honor that by doing something great to celebrate together.

Here are some ideas for celebrating another school year:

• Make a countdown calendar and mark off the days until the big day arrives.
• Have a block party and celebrate with the students friends and neighbors.
• Buy your child a special gift as reward for ending the school year.
• Take your child to a fun trip someplace you weren't able to go when school was in.
• Plan a summer family trip.
• Do a "now and then" project comparing where your child started at the beginning of the year to now.
• Host a pizza party at your house.
• Have your children invite close friends for a sleepover.
• Go shopping to restock on summer supplies.
• Plan summer arts and crafts events together.

These are just a few ideas for things you can do to celebrate the end of another school year. Be sure to praise your child for any accomplishments made throughout the school year and recognize all of their hard work. You may also want to take this time to create a new summer schedule to keep your children on track with their daily routines now that school is over and everything is going to change.
