For the past 30 years, family, friends, businesses and community organizations have sent Grad Grams to Mercer Island students.

This year, the Mercer Island PTA Council is selling Grad Grams to students completing preschool, kindergarten, fifth, eighth and 12th grades. Each Grad Gram is printed on parchment paper, personalized with the purchaser’s congratulatory message, and mailed directly to the graduate’s home.

All proceeds from the sales of Grad Grams go to the Mercer Island Community Scholarship Program, which recognizes outstanding Mercer Island High School graduating seniors. People can support this program by purchasing Grad Grams or by donating directly to the MI Community Scholarship Program. Contributions allow the community to provide 27 students with scholarship funds, up to $500 each, for future educational expenses.
