Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have yet to hear if there will be a 1st grade graduation. I hope not.
I do "get" having a ceremony at the big transitions on to first grade and out of elementary school. Although I could be wrong, but I don't think adults came to my eighth grade "graduation." It was still A Thing!
Edit: Oh, I forgot my point, which was: kindergarten gradutation is slightly ridiculous but cute, but a first grade graduation would be idiotic.

I didn't have a graduation until I was 17.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Prep school transition in Jamaica was pretty huge, but this was the deal for which they'd printed every student's results nationwide in all the papers. The ceremony itself was...well, I don't know. I didn't get to graduate, since they were trying to hold me back and my mother pulled me out of school instead.

I had a graduation ceremony from elementary school, but not (I think) middle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
As 8th graders we had a full mini-ceremony like the 12th graders. They do a big 5th grade one at mac's school which I think is idiotic. Yeah, you are changing schools, you do not need a ceremony for that.
Ugh, which reminds me, I need to get teacher gifts. I did not like the teacher this year, grrr. 2 more weeks thoug, only 2 more weeks. mac is getting 2 more Justice League action figures, one of the Encyclopedia Prehistorica books and maybe a shirt.

We had kindergarten, 4th grade, eighth grade, and high school graduation, but we changed buildings every time, so it sort of made sense. My eigth grade graduation was memorable because a student in my school died that day after having skipped school, stolen my neighbors moped, and gotten run over by an 18 wheeler.

I didn't have middle school (or junior high), so it was just whatever that was in 8th grade, and then Actual Graduation from HS. Oh, and I think paper caps and gowns in K.
