Friendly Neighborhood Helpers

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night. The show will begin promptly at 6:30 pm. Please have your child meet me in the classroom no earlier than 6:15. (I have another commitment beforehand.) ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ESCORTED TO THE CLASSROOM BY A PARENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. Our class will be seated on the left hand side farthest from the entrance. You might want to come earlier to get a good seat.

Play Costumes

Our musical is fast approaching and we wanted to remind you that costumes are due on Friday. Depending on what role your child is playing please refer to the note sent home before vacation as to what your child will need. Costumes can be homemade or purchased, they do not need to be matching each other. Costumes will stay at school beginning on Friday. If you have any problems please let me know!

STORYTELLER: Wear your finest clothes!

CROSSING GUARDS: A bright orange vest, a hand-held stop sign, and a whistle hanging around their necks.

MAIL CARRIERS: Light Blue Button Down Shirt, Navy Blue Pants (We will take care of mail carrier bag and hats at school),

FIREFIGHTERS: Yellow or red raincoats and boots would be close enough, fire fighter hat

PLUMBERS: Could wear overalls with some small tools attached, unused plunger

CHEFS: Chef hats might be great but only if they fit correctly. (If they are too big they will just keep falling in the actors’ faces.) White clothing makes the best sense.

DENTISTS: White lab coat, scrubs, stethoscope, surgery cap, gloves

GROCERS: An apron would be perfect. Perhaps some foods made out of paper and taped onto the apron for color and variety. (We will take care of grocer hats at school)

LIBRARIAN: glasses, favorite book, dress

VETERINARIAN: White lab coat, scrubs, stethoscope, small stuffed animal (beanie baby size)

RECYLER: White t-shirt, jeans (we will take care of recycle signs at school)

GARBAGE TRUCK FANS: Baseball caps and jeans (we will take care of the t-shirts in school)
