Revolutionary Days and Wax Mueum
The fifth grade has been selected to participate in Revolutionary Days at Kirk of the Hills, on January 29, 2015. Each student is required to dress in period dress for this event. I am attaching some ideas to come up with a costume. Please do not feel as if you have to spend a lot of money. There are numerous ways to do this for very little money.
In addition, we will be doing a Wax Museum the 28th, at school. The students can wear the same costume again.
Permission slips are due Friday!
Thank you for your support,
Jenna Buell
Costume Information:
For boys:
-Tube socks, soccer socks, knee high socks of solid color
-Sweatpants or baseball pants that can be pushed up just below the knee. (or they can roll up the hems to just below the knee and tie close to the calf with a safety pin which looks very nice as long as you get the safety pin in there J). No jeans.
-long sleeve button up (can be colored or striped, etc)
-vest from a suit (women’s vests from goodwill are good or women’s sleeveless collarless shirt,).
