Graduation is the one evening the whole year group is in the same room for the last time. Plan for the moments, not just the schedule.
Ideas that work
- A slideshow of the year with the students' own photos
- A short speech from a student chosen by the year group
- A teachers' thank-you moment
- A photo area with a simple backdrop
- A quiet table for family photos
Handing out yearbooks
Give books out after the formal part, so students sign them together. Have a list of orders, copies alphabetised and a helper on the table.
Delivery buffer
Plan for books to arrive well before the night. AerEthos guarantees delivery at least one week before graduation, so you have time to check and sort.
A signing page
Leave a space at the back of the book for signatures and short messages. It is often the page students keep reading.
