80 Mercer Island School District graduates support School bond and levy

80 MIHS grads who live on the Island with children who attend Island schools support the bond and levy issue on the Feb. 11 ballot

Proud MIHS alums support bond vote and levy

We are proud products of the Mercer Island public school system and wish to see MISD remain strong.  We are raising our own children in this same district where we grew up, living here by choice because we know how well this community supports our students.  We therefore write this letter to urge all voters to join us in voting YES for Proposition #1 fixing overcrowding and voting YES for Proposition #2 for the M&O Levy which provides funds for over 100 teachers and staff.

Mercer Island Public Schools have been consistently ranked as one of the best districts in the State of Washington for delivering education.  Over the past 50 years, the District and our community have educated over 15,000 MIHS graduates.   As residents and graduates of Mercer Island we are direct beneficiaries of our community’s investment in education.  With 750 students in portables and an expected net increase of 300 or more students arriving in next few years, it’s time to add capacity to our District by building a new 4th Elementary school and adding on to the Middle and High Schools.   Mercer Island has a proud tradition of educational excellence, however, we cannot simply rest on this reputation – we need to continually invest in our schools.

Signed,

Eighty Mercer Island High School graduates now on living the Island and raising families;
