[quote=Anonymous]I like all of your options except for 6.  This has been a crap year for all kids but missing (most of) the final year with your friends where you have spent your elementary years sucks and these kids deserve to be celebrated.  I know all schools are different but at our school, 5th grade is where they are able to be patrols and they have special 5th grade play and a big 5th grade party on the last day and the clap-out and they didn't get to do any of it.  It may not seem like a big deal to an adult but to a kid, they've watched the kids before them do it for 5 years and it's finally their turn.  Maybe some kids don't care but a lot do and I think they deserve some way of being celebrated.  At least do a family dinner or an outing--you have to eat anyway, what's the harm in a cake and some balloons?

FWIW, I'm not a mom of a 5th grader.  But I am a PTA president who is doing everything I can to make sure our 5th graders are celebrated because they deserve it and it makes them happy.   [/quote]
