The main theme is "Dear Children, You Are Our Hope."

Kindergarten Principal Semra Cellat Çakıcı delivered the inaugural speech of the program. She expressed her joy and pride, stating, "We have assembled here today to celebrate the first graduation of our children." We are honored to observe the initial stages of our children's growth on this special day. These beautiful children will assume their rightful position in society as successful individuals in the future. I am grateful for the confidence our parents have placed in us. We would not have been able to accomplish the success we have in our children's development without your support and cooperation. "Our primary responsibility was to guarantee that they grow up in a secure, loving environment, and we succeeded in doing so through your contributions," she stated.

The kindergarten teacher staff was also expressed gratitude by Principal Çakıcı, who stated, "Dear teachers, you are the true heroes of this process." You provided each of our children with education and guidance, all while demonstrating affection and patience. You established the groundwork for their future success, and you will forever be recognised as the architects of this success. Our children, you are our salvation. You will be guided by the values you acquire and the information you acquire here throughout your existence. We are confident that each of you will be a dazzling star. May your future be bright and your path be obvious.

Çomaklı, the Rector, stated, "My dear children, you will showcase remarkable success stories to your country and to yourselves."

Rector Çomaklı, who addressed the graduation program, began his remarks by affirming that he experienced a unique sense of pleasure and happiness in participating in the celebration of our children's first graduation. Çomaklı stated that 97 adorable puppies were transported safely from kindergarten to primary school. He further stated, "At the Atatürk University Foundation Schools, over 100 educators in our primary, secondary, Anatolian, and science high schools are diligently working to ensure that over 1300 students have a brighter future." They provide services to our ancient city. Our cherished children, you will witness the effects of attending kindergarten, the initial phase of your educational journey, at Atatürk University Foundation Schools in the years ahead. In order to demonstrate the talents and marvels of our students, our educators implemented a diverse array of activities. "You will add thousands more to the competencies you acquired in kindergarten in your next education life and present great success stories to yourself and your country," according to him.

"Our teachers are invaluable to us."

Rector Çomaklı also expressed gratitude to the parents who made a wise decision by selecting foundation schools for their children. This decision allowed them to express themselves in front of society, increase their self-confidence, learn and preserve our culture, and create their own personal success stories. He addressed the teachers, stating, "The first teacher of little hearts in the life of education." I observe the joy and pride that come with being present and providing the initial touch to our esteemed teachers. Consequently, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of our staff members who have assisted them and congratulate our valuable teachers.

The graduation ceremony concluded with the presentation of achievement plaques to the instructors and the awarding of graduation diplomas to the students following the speeches.
