The goal of the "I Wish..." project is to center the voices of Mercer Island youth.  Students in middle and high school were invited to anonymously respond to guided prompts and share things they wish their parents, teachers and peers knew. 

 We hope you will read the responses with an open mind and truly hear the youth voices.  Our students are telling us what they need and want and are being vulnerable in sharing their challenges and successes.  As parents, family members, teachers, and community members, we are the trusted adults in our kids' lives who can provide support and guidance.
