What To Write In A Kindergarten Graduation Card
You’ve got the graduation decorations, the end-of-year party planned, and your loved ones all around you for the graduation ceremony. What else could you be forgetting to celebrate the end of the school year? The card!
Saying the right thing can be challenging for the people closest to you, whether it’s in the party invitation or your card to the little graduate. Something that the kinder-grad can understand now and cherish in the future is a general way to create the perfect card. For kindergarten graduation, choosing a cute quote from their favorite book is always a good route to take. Children’s books have many great quotes with underlying, positive messages to incorporate in your note to them. Using a quote from a successful, inspirational person is a considerable alternative.
Whichever graduation quotes you decide on, try to add a piece of yourself as well. The quote can serve as the body of the card, and your personalized touch can be an introduction or a powerful conclusion. Words of advice or encouragement for the child and showing them how proud you are will be the perfect addition to the graduation card.
Here are a few steps to keep in mind when writing a kindergarten graduation card:
- Choose a quote that sets the celebratory tone in the body of the card.
- Include yourself in the introduction in order to make it personalized.
- Have a powerful conclusion that further explains the quote and why it is important to you and the kinder-grad.
- If there’s a particular graduation theme, see if you can incorporate it into the card to commemorate the end of the year.
Think about other places you can incorporate memorable quotes, like into their graduation gifts. Some ideas include:
- Photo Book: Commemorate the school year all the way up to their graduation party with pictures of their favorite events.
- Name Plaque: Engrave a memorable quote with a picture of all their classmates from the last day of school.
- Personalized Cup: Monogram a cup for the kindergarten graduate to use every day and be reminded of the fun time they had over the past year.
