The first thing that happens to us every year that kind of symbolizes school is ending very soon is that teachers hand out check out forms. This is a form that you have to hand in with all the stuff that the teachers need back (i.e. textbooks) and then you will get a signature from each teacher when you hand in their stuff. This always causes stress for me. On the last day of school you hand it in to one of the middle school staff.
Two formal events that happen at the end of the year are baccalaureate and commencement. I really like both of the events. Baccalaureate usually happens before commencement and it is more of a church service. We usually sing hymns and then one of the class sponsors gives a sermon. We have to dress up really nice.
Commencement is the formal event. Commencement is basically graduation but much more formal. Every year the graduates have a funny thing they do when Mr. Steinkamp hands them their diploma. This year they did selfies. Some of the graduate's poses for the selfies were really funny. Another fun thing they did was when all the graduates walked out, they suddenly stopped and then all of them did a kind of flash mob in the aisle. They did the dance to Cut Loose [Mom: Footloose]. All in all it was an entertaining graduation.
The school year ended very fast but I am so glad we had some special events in the end to remember.
Another thing that happens on the last day of school is, of course, we have parties. This year's party was really fun. The food was delicious but my favorite food was the brownies that one of the girls in my class made. After we had a little bit of eating time we played dodgeball (my favorite game). We first played team dodgeball, but then we played individual dodgeball (my favorite type of dodgeball). After we played dodgeball we went into one of the classrooms and watched a little bit of Captain America. We only got to watch a little bit because the award ceremonies was starting.
The award ceremonies always happen on the last day of school. This year I didn't get any prizes but some of my friends did. It was still exciting though. After that we had a little time to say goodbye to the people leaving. I did not know any of the people leaving though. After this we go and clean out our lockers and say our last goodbyes. Then school is over.
