Put out now, keep until you get tired of it. No later than when college starts though.

Bring back the yard signs! I loved seeing the HS grad ones and would always offer congrats if the family was outside. It gave such a nice community feel. I also miss Covid Halloween with table displays and cheer.

I assume this is MI. We got one too, and happily put it up.

I'm embarrassed by parents who put out yard signs for anything - but whatever....

Nice one!

As your neighbor, I like the signs! I have a sophomore and it’s neat to see what colleges the neighborhood seniors are choosing, and I like congratulating the kid and parents when we see them on our walks.

Honestly, just find it deep in your soul and be happy for their child and the family celebrating them.

I love the signs! Parents should be allowed to be proud and I love seeing where they go! I love seeing a house with diff signs too!

They make me smile. I am genuinely happy for the kid. It's an exciting time in your life.

It gives you something to say to neighbors too when you walk by their house and they are out beyond just a wave. I think it helps build a neighborhood feeling.
