- The kids are to come to school dressed in their costumes over their gym uniforms. Sneakers are fine!

- Please make sure robes are not too long as we will be walking to and from the church. Also, bobby pins tend to not keep veils on so if you can attach them to a headband or use clips that would be great.

Have a great week and GO PHILS!
