As we prepare to watch students graduate, have you ever wondered what some traditions are in other countries?

China: Here, the joy of graduation is amplified by a unique tradition. Each graduation is given a theme, and students prepare songs and dances dedicated to their classmates.

Italy: This tradition adds a touch of fun and lightheartedness to the graduation ceremony. New graduates’ clothes are torn, covered in flour or glitter, and generally made as garbage-covered as possible, creating a playful atmosphere.

Finland: PhD graduates earn the “Certified Civilian Sword of the Republic of Finland,” which they must wear and present at graduation.

Japan: Many songs are sung, starting with Japan’s National Anthem, followed by the official song of the city and the school. Then, the underclassmen sing to the graduates.

Philippines: At the start of spring, each student gets a graduation ceremony every time they complete an education level.

Norway: Senior students are given the week of Norway’s Independence Day off to celebrate on their own, a party that can last up to three months.

As we dive into the excitement of planning our end-of-the-year events, it's essential to recognize that with great enthusiasm comes the potential for disagreements. Here are some tried-and-true tips to help navigate these discussions and keep our focus on creating memorable experiences for your group:

1. Active listening is key: Take the time to truly understand each member's perspective, refraining from interrupting or dismissing their ideas. This inclusive approach ensures that every voice is heard and considered in your end-of-the-year event planning.

2. Express concerns clearly: Your concerns are important. If you have reservations about a proposed idea or decision, feel empowered to voice them openly, honestly, and respectfully. Your open communication is a powerful tool that can shape our planning process.

3. Find common ground: By focusing on areas of agreement and building upon them, your group can work together more effectively. This collaborative approach can lead to solutions that benefit everyone, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

4. Focus on solutions: Adopt a problem-solving mindset and encourage creative thinking to overcome obstacles and move forward with planning.

If you embrace open communication, mutual respect, and a collaborative spirit, your group can overcome anything and concentrate on what's important: supporting your children and their school experience.

While physical health of our kids often takes the spotlight, don’t overlook the significance of mental well-being. Instilling the importance of mental health at an early age lays the foundation for lifelong well-being and resilience.

By fostering a culture of emotional awareness and self-care, we can empower children to navigate life's challenges.

One way to do that is by creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable discussing their feelings, fears, and anxieties. That starts by teaching them emotional literacy so they can define how they feel and better express it.

Another way to encourage your children to be mentally healthy is to encourage them to engage in daily mindfulness exercises through guided sessions or simple practices like nature walks. By teaching this and other healthy ways to cope with stress and adversity — such as engaging in physical activity, spending time outdoors, or seeking support from others — you give them healthy ways to de-stress themselves.

As you celebrate National Mental Health Awareness Month this May, remember that not only is it important to teach your kids the value of mental health-you can be a great example by prioritizing your own mental well-being as well.

On this School Principals' Day, let's go above and beyond to celebrate the remarkable leaders who infuse our schools with passion, purpose, and possibility. Behind every successful school stands a visionary principal, shaping futures and leaving indelible marks on the hearts and minds of all who pass through their doors.

Here are some ideas:

Acts of Kindness: Encourage students and staff to perform random acts of kindness throughout the day and dedicate them to your principal.

Professional Development Opportunities: Invest in your principal's professional growth by providing opportunities for further training, networking, or attending educational conferences.

Community Service Project: In honor of your principal, organize a community service project in partnership with your school to give back to the local community.

Create a Wall of Gratitude: Identify a prominent spot in the school where students, staff, and parents can pen their heartfelt words and expressions of gratitude for the principal. Unveiling this wall will be a powerful testament to the principal's influence and the appreciation they command.
