I thought MCPS had graduations at DAR Constitution Hall. I didn’t think they ever were outside for high school.

MCPS used to have graduations at DAR Constitution Hall, the Xfinity Center, and Mount St. Mary's University. Then came covid. Now some high schools have graduation in their stadiums.

And they don't use Xfinity anymore, they go to UMBC instead. See the whole list of locations here:

UMBC?! Good grief. That's even further away than Xfinity.

There aren't any large arenas like that in MoCo.

I think that changed during COVID and Whitman did them on the football field.

Most aren't large enough to accomodate.

Does anyone know how to lobby for a change to the CIP budget most effectively? We're in the Whitman cluster and my daughter is in 2nd grade now but I don't want to have to go through this horror when she's graduating and would like to start advocating for a bigger auditorium and gym at Whitman so that we can move events indoors if needed. Any thoughts?

here's a thought: the gym and auditorium shouldn't be expanded JUST to accommodate a few Bethesda pearl clutcher moms who don't want to have to change plans if another environmental event that MCPS cannot control occurs in 10 years.

You clearly haven't had to go through the process of booking a reservation for 20 at minibar 10 years in advance.

I know this thread is satire, but we actually did go to minibar after Whitman graduation!

If it’s still bad at 6 I will just have the help breathe for me.

Learn to read satire.

dp.. honestly, can't tell if it really is sarcasm. The thing about anonymous posting is that people can post unfiltered. You just never know of this is how some people really think.

Personally, I hope it I s sarcasm. Because if you read through all of these forums, you will find plenty of posts with real entitled attitude. If it’s sarcasm, bravo.

It's sarcasm but it reflects perfectly DCUM/Bethesda/Potomac way of thinking and sense of entitlement.
Good job OP.

There isn't any snow on my street, MCPS is so incompetent.
My street hasn't been plowed, MCPS is so incompetent.
My drive to work was fine, MCPS is so incompetent.
I slipped on my way to the mailbox, MCPS is so incompetent.
I can't believe MCPS called the snow day so late, how incompetent.
I can't believe MCPS called the snow day so early, how incompetent.
Remember when MCPS closed for wind, so incompetent.
Remember when MCPS closed for rain, so incompetent.
They get more snow than this for 10 months a year in Nizhny Novgorod and don't close, MCPS is so incompetent.
I got 3 phone calls, 6 emails, and 15 texts in 8 languages, MCPS is so incompetent.
MCPS didn't inform me personally, MCPS is so incompetent.

What does the graduation have to do with the restaurant reservation? Just go ahead and celebrate. The kid graduated whether they had the school ceremony today or not. You’re allowed to celebrate.
