Get Your FREE Last Day of School Printables & Celebrate Big!

Ready, Set… SUMMER!

By Macaroni KID April 28, 2025

The final school bell has rung, the backpacks are (somewhere) in the house, and just like that — another school year is done. Whether you were counting down the days or clinging to routine, one thing’s for sure…

Kids: You did it!
Parents: You SURVIVED it.
Teachers: You deserve a parade. 

📸 Before you toss that backpack or sprint into summer break, grab our FREE set of Last Day of School signs! We’ve got one for every grade — plus bonus ones for parents and teachers (because we adults earned it too). Print, pose, and snap that last-day pic you'll laugh-cry over for years. 

Your choice!

For Parents: “We Made It!” Celebrations

All year you packed lunches, signed permission slips, did the last-minute spirit day scramble — and now it’s your time to shine.

  • Cheers to You: Toast with something bubbly (sparkling cider or sparkling rosé — we don’t judge).
  • School-Year Scrapbook: Print a few fave photos and let the kids help decorate pages with stickers and drawings.

For Kids: “Yay, Summer!” Fun

Make the day feel BIG for your little ones.

  • Sidewalk Chalk Shout-Out: Let your kids decorate the driveway with their favorite school-year memories or dreams for summer.
  • Photo Booth Fun: Use our free printable signs to set up a mini photo shoot. Bonus points for silly props and popsicles afterward.
  • Toss the Backpack: One epic backpack toss into the closet (or the garage) makes it official.
  • Summer YES List: Create a mini "Yes Day" for your kids — ice cream before dinner? Sure! Pajamas all day? Why not?
  • Choose-Your-Own-Summer: Download our FREE summer bucket list and let the kids dream up their best summer ever.  

For Teachers: Simple Celebrations & Keepsakes

Teachers, you're the MVPs of the year. Here are some low-stress ways to wrap up your classroom with heart:

  • Shout-Out Awards: From “Biggest Helper” to “Most Likely to Cheer You Up,” quick awards go a long way.
  • Goodbye Graffiti Wall: Let kids write messages or draw pictures on butcher paper as a class goodbye.
  • Summer Send-Off Letter: Write a short note to each student telling them what made them special — parents treasure these forever!
  • Use our “Tag, You’re It!” Printable: Send parents a loving little message in the car line as you hand their kids back for the summer. It’s your way of saying, “I’ve educated, encouraged, and endured… now it’s your turn!”😂
