Would your child attend a party on Presidents’ Day?

Great time to play pin the tail on the Trump after all they are both donkey’s rears.

We will be out of town.

My daughter’s birthday is around then and we have been having her party on actual Super Bowl Sunday afternoon and her parties are very well attended. I also think people will have plans but their plans are in the evening.

Yes.

Why don’t you ask some of your child’s friends’ parents if they’ll be in town? We know a kid who had a party of one of those mid-week days off, but the mom asked around before scheduling the party.

+1 This. We usually go away for the long weekends.

Some people will likely still be away, even on a Monday afternoon, but that's life. It's rare to get 100% attendance.

One of my kids has a hard to schedule birthday (right before the end of the school year when there's a lot of events going on), and we usually make sure 2-3 "best" friends can attend, and invite a larger than typical group of invitees, knowing that a lot of them might be occupied.

No. I have work and kiddo will be in vacation camp.

Sports tourney sorry

I'd be at work, so transportation would be a problem (fifth grader is staying home with her non-driving teen siblings). But if someone would pick her up/drop her off, it would work for us!

The following day is another day off for FCPS so we're definitely not around

Private schools kids often go skiing

Assuming people aren't working on that Monday. Am I remembering correctly that many private sector people don't get Presidents' Day off, so the kid might have another "childcare" arrangement that wouldn't necessarily make it possible for the kid to get a ride to a party?
