PHOENIX - Kindergarten graduations don't always come with a cap, gown and diplomas, but they do at the Legacy Traditional School in west Phoenix.
It has all the pomp and circumstance of a high school or college graduation.
What we know:
A caravan of cute-as-can-be kindergartners were in cap and gown for a full-fledged graduation ceremony, fit for a college kid.
Plenty of parents were soaking up the scene with cameras, balloons and smiles.
What they're saying:
"You know, doing homework every night with our daughter, working hard for their future and stuff, trying to make them know better every single day," said John, a parent.
"Very funny proud moment. The school is very high in education. They do teach like a grade ahead, so it’s kind of painless for the kids, but they make it very fun and easy for them to have a good time as well," said Shauntrai, another parent.
