We have been discussing costumes, and I have attached some ideas below. The attached link are just ideas to go off of. These are not a required costume to purchase. All students must wear pants that are comfortable to move in. They can be jeggings, jeans, jazz pants, black sweats, or athletic bottoms that go past the knee. Most pieces can be pulled from your child’s wardrobe they currently have.
