Peacemaker Presentation
We have discussed in class what to wear for the presentation. Since most of the boys are statesmen and former presidents, it would be nice if they wore pants, a collared shirt, and a tie if they have one.
The girls can wear a special dress or get creative with dressing up. They are from different countries around the world so they can wear colorful sarongs over t-shirts and shorts, long dresses, or anything else that would be festive and appropriate for a presentation.
Please do not purchase anything new! Thank you. Hope to see you there!
