Middle school graduation style may be a bit more casual than formal high school or college ceremonies,but the move from junior to senior high school is still an important occasion that can be celebrated in many ways.
The decision whether students will wear caps and gowns（礼服）for middle school graduation is usually up to the individual school.Some feel that this is the perfect way to commemorate the special occasion,while others feel the cap and gown is unnecessary for a junior high ceremony.
For those schools that choose not to use caps and gowns,it is typically suggested that students wear dress clothes for the occasion.Students may also be encouraged to dress for graduation in a uniform manner,such as white shirts and black pants or skirts,or educators may suggest dressing in the school colors.Schools that choose to have students wear academic regalia（制服）for the ceremony may choose to purchase gowns in a variety of sizes from a store such as Graduate Affairs,and then let students borrow them,and reuse them each year.Caps may be purchased by a Parent-Teacher Organization or by the individual graduates.
Parents may choose to host open house or party when their child graduates from middle school.This is typically an informal affair,such as a barbeque or pool party,or simply appetizers or cake to honor the graduate.Simple backyard games such as volleyball,bocce ball,and Frisbee are a fun way to entertain young teens,tweens,and well-wishers.Other party games and a band might also be considerations for a large or more complicated gathering.
Whether simple or complex,there are many ways to remember a graduation from middle school and make this time a special and wonderful one.Graduation events are perfect for highlighting a student’s achievements during middle school and preparing for his or her future success.
