5th Grade Sweatshirts
The fifth grade sweatshirts are a Mercer Island tradition and a “must have” for your graduating fifth grader. Every year, the Mercer Island Elementary School PTAs collaborate to produce a fifth grade sweatshirt that has the names of all the graduating fifth grade students across the district. Not only do the fifth graders enjoy wearing the sweatshirt and signing each other’s sweatshirt, but it is also the sixth grade band uniform. So please make sure to order a sweatshirt for your fifth graders to avoid disappointed children.
5th Grade Legacy Art Project
Each year, the graduating 5th graders work together to create a Legacy Art Project that will be displayed in the halls of Northwood Elementary. Parent volunteers plan and create an art project allowing each individual 5th grader to contribute a piece to a collaborative art work.
5th Grade Celebration
The culminating event held at the end of the school year celebrates the graduating class. The scope and type of event may change from year to year, with the objective being to give students a unique and memorable experience.
