The Kindergarten "Elves"

Dear Parent,
The kindergarteners will be performing the annual Christmas Play. There will be two performances:
Thursday, 12/16
for friends and family
1:00 SJF Church
Mark your calendar! We guarantee that you will be filled with Christmas Spirit after enjoying this performance!
Friday, 12/17, we will have an encore performance for the school children.
Your child_________________________will be playing the part of _________________________for our play. He/she will need a costume (sorry!!) Please don't make yourself crazy over this. Animals can wear a sweat suit with added spots, cotton balls, feathers, tails, whatever your little heart desires! A headband, stocking cap, or baseball cap with felt ears glued on works great for animal costumes. NO MASKS, PLEASE! They make it hard for the children to speak and cover their adorable faces! A visor or baseball cap works great for a duck or bird. Bathrobes always work well. This just might be fun for you!  We have a few costumes that have been donated over the years. If your child brings home a costume and you would prefer to make your own, please send the donated costume back to school so that we can give that costume to another child. If you do not receive a "loaner costume" please remember the true meaning of Christmas while you are working on your child's costume ~ and don't hate the teachers!
Humbly Yours,
The Kindergarten Teachers

*Costumes are due in school on Friday, 12/10. Please put your child's costume on a hanger or in a bag. Please label EVERYTHING with your child's name!
**Children will be allowed to leave with family following performance.
