Today is “Picture & Fee” day for sophomores at Mercer Island High School!
On Mercer Island, picture day is a big deal at the middle school and high school. It is a day that marks the beginning of the school year. Kids go to school the week before classes start to get their pictures taken for IDs, pay fees, etc. Everyone also catches up with friends on the events of the summer, talks about teachers for next year and compares schedules.
There are some things that are really bittersweet about leaving on this trip! Missing a year of school sounds cool in the beginning but realizing you will miss out on the experiences of that year with friends is hard. Luckily, the kids all have really good friends here on Mercer Island so plugging back into the social scene will be relatively simple.
