Decorating your cap for graduation is a representation of students’ uniqueness, and allows them to express themselves. Every student should be allowed to decorate their caps to stand out from everyone else, but also be a part of the senior family at the school. 

 It is Greeley West’s tradition to not allow seniors to decorate their caps because they feel it is unnecessary and puts too much attention on one individual student. However, decorating the cap would be a way for each student to leave one last message at the school, to show off what they learned and the skills that they have. 

It gives the students the chance to express who they are and maybe leave an imprint at the school. 

Wearing the cap and gown on the last day at a school you spent four years at is an honor because that was four years of your life put into something that allows you to spread your wings and do big things with the future. 

It is one last spin on being a kid before you are let go to bigger and better things.
