Inside Catholic has the amusing story of the uproar this has caused in one Catholic School
I am pretty pro-Kindergarten graduation myself. I actually recall mine.
Reasons for it
Teaches Kids the important of ceremony and important moments
It actually is a transition. WHAT NO MORE NAP TIME AND SPENDING A HOUR PLAYING WITH PLAYDO FOR HOURS . You are a big boy or girl now.
Also lets face it. It's for the parents and grandparents too. Which is in my view a good reason in itself

Actually, nowadays there is a *lot* more academics in kindergarten than there used to be -- it isn't just Playdoh and sharing. It's basically what first grade used to be.
So emphasizing the achievement of completing kindergarten, when there isn't as big a "jump" between kindergarten and first grade anymore, strikes me as a bit odd.
Oh well. Maybe so. I don't have kids so I ahve to just go off my old memories
Still it is a "tradition": and it seems a nice one.
