2 . No matter what your degree is, or where you got it from, graduation is always going to be a time to celebrate your achievements and give yourself a well-deserved praise.

From turning up in special dress to jumping into a fountain (喷泉), graduation traditions around the world are quite different.

Graduates at Bristol are unusual in that they don’t wear mortarboards (学位帽) at all, because once, as a story goes, too many mortarboards got thrown from Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge, and it was thought to be dangerous.

At the graduation ceremony of this Japanese art school you can wear anything you

want, which drives media (媒体) crazy. The yearly ceremony has become so famous that journalists turn up each year to see what the students are wearing.

After the graduation ceremony at New York University, students like to cool off by jumping into the New York’s Washington Square Fountain, still wearing their purple graduation dress.

Graduating students, who are dressed in old time clothing, take photos for their graduation at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province of China.

3 . A Color Run at School

The event is usually a five-kilometer untimed run. Participants are doused(浇涂上)from head to toe in a different colored powder at each kilometer mark. This activity inspired by the Hindu festival of Holi is perfect for promoting community and happiness.

A color run is a fun event perfect for schools. It is a way to promote health and activity among children. Schools can choose whether they want to host a color run by themselves or have one organized by an event organizer.

Taking part in a color run will help you improve your overall physical health. It’s a great way to burn calories and get out. You will also be able to meet new people.

To set up a school Color Run, you will first need to decide what time you want it to start. Then, you will need to contact the principal at your school. They will then tell you if there is enough space available at the named location. You will need to inform the class teachers and include information in the student handbook. Next, you should contact the parents/guardians of the students at the school through a mailed letter or email. With everything listed above completed, you will have your event organized and ready to go!
