Your students have worked hard completing a milestone in their education. It’s time to celebrate their accomplishments. Yet, the current environment with the COVID-19 crisis is keeping people from being able to gather. How can you make graduation special for your senior, even if you have to stay home?Here are a few ideas to honor your graduate:

## 1. Display balloons.

Tie them on the mailbox or use them to decorate the dining room. Who doesn’t like balloons?

## 2. Hang a banner.

Order a “Congratulations Graduate” banner or create your own using construction paper or poster board, markers, paint and glitter!

## 3. Create a video or photo montage.

Use printed photos or social media and display fun memories throughout your graduate’s years of schooling. Check out these free apps to help you: Slideshow Maker, Slideshow Creater, MoShow Photo, Splice and Slideshow Video.

## 4. Bake a cake or a pie.

Make your senior’s favorite dessert and don’t forget to decorate it with “Congrats, Graduate!”

## 5. Create a virtual surprise party.

Invite friends and relatives to a virtual gathering honoring your graduate using Zoom, Facebook Messenger or Skype. Ask everyone to log on at the same time and have each person offer a memory about the senior.

## 6. Plan a drive-by celebration/parade.

Ask your friends and family to meet in their cars at a certain time and location and then drive by your house with posters, flowers, balloons or other gifts for your graduate.

## 7. Ask your senior.

If none of these ideas appeal, ask your student what would make him or her happy. Maybe your graduate has been wanting some new clothes or a gift card to a favorite restaurant for “to-go” meals. Or maybe he or she would appreciate a small gift of cash to use for a future trip or a college need.Whatever you do, don’t let this special time in your graduate’s life slip by without celebrating him or her in some way. Especially in the midst of a pandemic, it’s important to let our seniors know how much we love them!
