Costume Party Tomorrow!

Dear 25th Year Students HST Age 9 to 13,
Since the Middleschool students won Honor Society’s contest, all students age 9 to 13 (on Dec. 31, 2019) are invited to a Costume Party tomorrow evening. I know you’ll have a great time if you can make it. (HST’s Honor Society always throws a great party!).
Reminder – It is a mandatory costume party! *You don’t have to have anything fancy (make a paper-plate mask!*) but costume parties are most fun when everyone participates.
– We will be taking pictures of you in costume and giving prizes for “Best” Categories
You don’t need to bring food – but do eat dinner before coming. *We’ll have munchies and we’ll be making schmores.*
For those who have phones – my “party policy” is that we leave phones in a basket by the door (like many people leave shoes by the door). You can pick them up the last 15 minutes of the party to take your own pictures but before that we want everyone enjoying the people you are with (not texting or tweeting or surfing…or whatever else phones can do!)
– So – keep shoes on (my floors are never that clean!) but leave cell-phones in the basket by door.
Parent Request – please come to the door to pick up your students. I know it is easier to just text them and ask them to come out BUT I have had situations where students thought they were getting a ride home with friends & then the parent shows up and wonders where their child is – and I have no idea because students most students don’t say good-bye when they are leaving…they just leave. *Selfishly, I love getting to chat a little with parents when they do come to the door and I will feel much better about student safety*.
The party is 7pm to 10pm. You don’t have to come for all of it but we’d love to see you if you can make it.
My address is: 400 Broadwood Dr., Rockville, MD 20851.
Call the business phone is you have an emergency as we can hear that phone even with student “fun” – 310-294-0520.
Blessings, Marilyn
