We are awaiting nominations, appointments, NROTC acceptance, & college acceptance. I have pushed my son hard for six years of homeschooling and through all of this...is there a ball for the moms to go to? Yippeee
Parents get to go too. We went a couple of years ago (our son has been at sea the last 2 Christmases, A split). We had a blast and are all planning to attend next year in St. Louis.
Most of them are open to anyone associated with the schools in some capacity. I've seen parents of graduates, graduates, grandparents, etc etc. It's all about having a good time with people who are in a similar situation.
