“Graduations” for any level of schooling (in the US) other than High School and above are beyond stupid. No one cares your kid passed the 5th grade.

We only have prom and fancy graduations for seniors in high-school. We also have "White nights" where students party all night in their school yards, freshmen give you flowers and stuff, you have a diploma ceremony, prom, then a holiday with your classmates away from your city/village.

I'm gonna miss mine due to obvious reasons, sadly, but it makes a lot more sense because graduating high-school means you're about to move onto a completely different chapter in your life, especially since a lot of people study abroad these days, and the younger students rest just have small celebrations that last a few hours with their classmates, maybe a gift from their parents if they made a deal such as "If you pass with [grade] or more we'll get you [something]"
