School’s Out! Celebrate the Last Day of School in Fort Myers

The last day of school is here, Fort Myers! 👏 Whether your kids are racing out the classroom doors or soaking in those final hugs from friends and teachers, it’s a day full of emotions—excitement, relief, and maybe even a few tears.

For parents, it’s a moment to pause and say we did it. Another year of drop-offs, homework checks, lunch packing, and growth—both academic and personal. For kids, it’s all about summer break dreams coming true: popsicles, pool days, and no alarm clocks!

Here are a few fun and meaningful ways to celebrate the last day of school with your family right here in Fort Myers:

🎉 1. Host a Backyard Summer Kickoff

Grab a sprinkler, make some lemonade, and throw on a summer playlist. Let your kids invite a few friends for an end-of-school bash they’ll remember.

📚 2. Create a “Look How Far You’ve Come” Board

Tape up a side-by-side of your child’s first day and last day of school pictures. Ask them to write or draw their favorite memory and something they’re proud of.

🍦 3. Treat Time!

Hit up a local ice cream spot like Love Boat Ice Cream or Royal Scoop and celebrate with their favorite flavor. It’s tradition-worthy.

🌊 4. Plan a Beach or Pool Day

With summer officially here, why not head to the beach or a local splash pad? Fort Myers has plenty of family-friendly spots to cool off.

💌 5. Say Thank You

Write a quick thank-you note or email to a teacher who made a difference. A small gesture can mean the world—and it teaches gratitude, too.

From all of us at FortMyersKids.com, we hope your summer is full of joy, adventure, and quality time with your favorite people. You’ve earned it, parents. And kids—don’t forget the sunscreen! 😎
