Hi! I was wondering if there might be any downloadable certificates that can be given to the student upon completing a program?
Thank you!

What a cool idea!

That is a neat idea! If there are not any certificates, what have others done to celebrate this milestone? I'm sure for some, it's summer vacation . We school year-round, so we won't have any huge breaks after a program, but we could possibly take a week or so...Any other ideas?

How about a party? Any occasion for cake is a winner at my house. Or a cool/special field trip, maybe? You could always Google certificates and make some of your own. I'm sure there are printable ones out there.

I often make up certificates for my children with my laptop. There is a certificate template in my word processing program (Mac's Pages) that I can alter. I bet you can find an online source as well.

I usually make a certificate any time we finish something (a level of Math, a school year, etc.). They really seem mean a lot to my children. (We put them in page protectors in a binder.)

I make certificates for my dc on the computer and then we have a special family breakfast out at a restaurant where Dad presents them with their certificates. I make one for the guide or grade completed and one for the character trait I've seen most developed in that child in the past year. Certificates are a simple way to mark a huge achievement.

I really LOVE your character certificate idea! Wow! I hope you don't mind if I borrow your idea!!!

I love the idea of a certificate. We often do cakes to celebrate school as well and that is fun. I also love the idea of the character certificates. That is really wonderful. I think I am going to have to just do it all.
