Greetings, MODG high school students and parents of high schoolers! God's peace be with you!
Peace and joy be yours! Very disappointingly, the 2021 Unofficial MODG Winter Formal Ball has been cancelled. With the COVID restrictions now mandated, we are unable to meet as a group of over 20 people. I’m sorry for the seniors, especially, who will miss the Ball in their senior year. Take heart, though, I always offer registrations the following year for one year grads; don’t retire that Ball gown yet! :) Please see the MODG website for more details regarding reimbursement. Thank you! **Please read carefully the new registration process. Note that all new information pertaining to COVID guidelines and changes to this year's event are highlighted in RED.**
Thank you for your interest in the 2021 Winter Formal Ball reserved for Mother of Divine Grace enrolled high school students and MODG 2020 graduates! I'm delighted to report that we've reserved for our 11th annual Winter Formal Ball a ballroom at Tysons Corner Marriott, 8028 Leesburg Pike, Tysons Corner, VA 22182. We look forward to resuming the Ball next year at the KeyBridge Marriott after their total renovation is complete.
The Tyson's Corner Marriott is looking forward to hosting our event allowing for 115 participants, unlike former years when 180-205 students have been in attendance. In offering seniors and juniors first seats, please follow my suggestions made here to make sure all of your high schoolers who want to attend are registered.
*REGISTER ALL THOSE IN YOUR HOME WANTING TO ATTEND THE BALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*
Juniors and seniors will be registered immediately on a first come first served basis up to November 15th. Once November 15th arrives, I will backtrack to the cancelled date on the envelopes and add lower class men/chaperones to the list in order of mail-in date. Once the strict limit of 115 people are registered, a short waitlist will be made and then registration will be closed. You can find "CLOSED REGISTRATION" at this website if you have questions if there are still seats available. Chaperones will be limited to two tables rather than the four tables normally eagerly occupied by chaperones. (Bummer! It's always so wonderful to get to know you, parents! :))
Doors to the dance open at 5:30 with pick up promptly at 11:00. Of special note: Historically, the Ball has been open to families enrolled with Mother of Divine Grace School; however, for those using the MODG curriculum and NOT enrolled in the school, we'd like you to join us! Please register after January 1st so that those enrolled have ample time to reserve their places. Being a later registrant, please see how to check your reservation confirmation within the "reservation deadline" section under the "DETAILS" tab. Please know that non-enrolled families must sign a waiver attesting that they use the MODG curriculum. Thank you.
