Costume Update:

Kids who are wearing the white t- shirt with stripes can keep their costume/tshirt if they bring in their own white t shirt!  I would like to get these shirts made soon!  Please let me know if you child will be able to bring in a plain white t shirt (no graphics) or if you are able to donate a package of T-shirts.
