Got it. The cross check of attendees’ names against Catholics school enrollment will be rigorous this year. Let’s see if that helps.

We’ll report back.

So is this now limited to Catholic school 7th & 8th graders?

It’s shocking the silence on these boards about this event and the fact that seventh and eighth graders were showing up wasted. I think it’s because they are mostly suburban kids that don’t attend schools that people consider elite and that’s why they don’t care? Otherwise it’s hard to figure out why there’s a 100 page thread about one student allegedly drinking at a big three and yet no word about seventh and eighth graders showing up to a party falling down drunk.

Plenty of NCS/STA, Holton and Sidwell kids there last year.

Holton yes. But not SFS or NCS or STA.

+1 I have never seen any of those DC privates going to this ever.

Do you stand at the door and check their id? Do you troll the parking lot for stickers? How many years have you been stalking this event?

I have had kids in the schools mentioned at the age mentioned and it never came up as a big event for the kids to attend. Did a handful from one or another attend any given year? Likely. Is it a thing that most of a grade from those schools annually participate in? No.

I keep checking back on this thread to see if we all are being punked by someone making up this whole event. So suburban DC Catholic school 12 and 13 year olds get "drunk and stoned" at a charity dance called the White Party and held at a park that is still notorious for its past history of segregation. I keep hoping this whole chain is satire.

Tone deaf, not satire.

It's clear your helicopter was flying too high to hear about everybody going.

There were definitely girls from NCS there last year.

So now people cant attend parties dressed in white? I guess we need to let the dinner en blanc organizers know!

Interesting. DD’s NCS friend was on the planning committee so I’m quite certain she had friends attend with her.

So, wait: 'The White Party' isn't slang for private school?

Was a great event this year. Kids had a terrific time and there was no drama. A lot of parents waited right outside the pavilion and could see everything. I hope they raised a lot of money!!
