We will also be hosting a fundraising event with the show called the Mad Hatter Tea Party which will happen on November 24 from 12:00-1:30pm. Meet the characters, enjoy delicious snacks, and create fun crafts from 12:00pm-1:30pm. After the tea party in the cafeteria, you will be escorted to your VIP seats in the auditorium for the 2:00pm show. Tickets for the tea party and show are $20 for children and $16 for adults (all children must be accompanied by an adult). Tickets are limited and you can purchase tickets here!

*Activities are geared to students 10 and under but all are welcome. This is not a drop off event. An adult is required to accompany young children.

We understand that traffic flow in the student parking lot has been a concern, and we are committed to creating a safer, more efficient environment for all. Recently, in partnership with the Howard County Police Department, we conducted a traffic study to assess current challenges and have implemented recommendations to improve traffic management and reduce congestion during peak hours.

To help streamline the flow of traffic and enhance safety, we have introduced the following changes:

• New, Highly Visible Signage: New signs at the entrance and exit restrict left turns and guide all vehicles to turn eastbound on to Route 99 during peak hours.

• Peak Hours: Restrictions are in effect from 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

• Traffic Cone Removal: Orange cones have been removed to allow smoother traffic movement.

• Police Enforcement: Howard County Police will monitor compliance to ensure safety.

We believe these measures will contribute to smoother traffic flow and alleviate congestion. As a reminder, please discuss safe driving practices with your student, emphasizing the importance of following all posted signage and traffic rules.

Thank you for your cooperation and support. At Mt. Hebron, the safety of our students, staff, and families is our number one priority. Ensuring a safe and efficient flow of traffic in our parking lots is an important part of that commitment.

Calling All Vikings!

The Mt. Hebron PTSA is excited to announce that we will be conducting the National PTA Reflections Program at our school this year for the second time!

Reflections is a nationwide arts recognition and achievement program sponsored by the PTA. There is an annual theme/topic and students have the opportunity to submit their completed works of art in one or all of these arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts.

This year's theme is: "Accepting Imperfection."

Join us and have fun unleashing your inner artist with PTA Reflections!

National PTA award categories include the following:
• Outstanding Interpretation Awards: Seven Outstanding Interpretation Awards are
given—one to the submission in each arts category, plus one in the Accessible Artist
Division, that best interprets the theme. Each Outstanding Interpretation award replaces
one of the Awards of Excellence described below. Winners at this level receive: A
certificate, trophy, medal, $800 cash prize, $200 for their Local PTA, and a trip to the 2024
National PTA Convention.
• Awards of Excellence: These are given to the top three scores for each arts category in each
age division. Winners at this level receive: $200 cash prize, certificate, and medal.
• Awards of Merit: These are given to the next five highest scores for each arts category in
each age division. Winners at this level receive: A certificate and medal.
