The Costume Closet will not allow students to reserve costumes for these
events in advance. I also understand that Spring Break will be
the week before these events. Eva and I
have both spoken with Peggy at the Costume Closet and she has provided
us with
the following days to rent our costumes:
Saturday March 21st 10:30am - 1:30pm
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, March 25,26,27 10:30am - 4:30pm
Saturday, March 28th -
Tuesday, April 7th COSTUME CLOSET IS CLOSED!!
The costumes will be due back after school on
April 8th or anytime April 9th. After the 9th a late fee will be
charged. If someone absolutely can't get there until April 10th, they should
call and let Peggy know.
Thank
you all for your continued support! We
make an amazing team and the kids have lots of fun activities to look forward
to.
Kind
regards,
Mrs.
Ellis
