Celebrate 2026 Graduates & Families
Lei Pick Up is on Thursday, June 4th 2:00-4:30 pm, Across from Viking Stadium Entrance
Graduation begins promptly at 5:00 pm
Leis symbolize affection and are presented to graduates as they are leaving their school and arriving at a new stage of life. It is a wonderful way to celebrate this special occasion.
Our fresh Hawaiian flower leis have become a beautiful tradition. All profits support PALY Child Development Pathway so thank you for giving back to our community as you celebrate.
For your convenience, graduation lei pick up is from 2:00-4:30 pm on June 4th in front of the main Peery Center Entrance across from Viking Stadium. Some parents pick up the lei early and present it to their senior before they leave for graduation. Graduates may also pick up the lei themselves. Most graduates wear them during the ceremony. 
Gunn families are also welcome to purchase leis.  We are sorry we cannot offer pick up on the Gunn campus but we do start pick up several hours before the ceremony.
Because students and teachers have other graduation duties, we must have leis picked up by 4:30 pm.  If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee you will receive your lei and cannot offer refunds.  Please do what you can to make sure that you or your child picks up their lei durning our 2.5 hour pick up window.

Graduation Leis for Paly & Gunn

 Mixed Purple & White Lei
A purple and white lei is a stunning symbol of graduation, blending elegance with meaning. Rich purple represents achievement, ambition, and pride, while crisp white symbolizes new beginnings, integrity, and hope for the future. Together, they create a timeless, sophisticated look that honors both the hard work behind the diploma and the bright path ahead. It’s more than a lei—it’s a beautiful statement of accomplishment and possibility.
