Individuals can buy tiles personalized for their graduates for $30.

The tiles or bricks will be used to pave the courtyard area outside the Commons at Mercer Island High School. Messages are up to the buyer and can be the name and year of graduation, a family name, or simply congratulations.

For information or to purchase a tile, call Marilee Ahalt at 230-9854.

Graduate Grams

The annual Graduate Gram program sponsored by the Mercer Island Community Scholarship program through the Mercer Island PTA Council is again underway.

Graduate Grams are a Mercer Island tradition and celebrate graduation or other notable achievements. The grams are maroon on parchment certificates, suitable for framing. The certificates are not only for Mercer Island High School graduates but for anyone who has reached an important goal or milestone. The certificates are available through the Community Scholarship program at P.O. Box 124, Mercer Island, WA 98040 or at the office of any Mercer Island school.
