Next week Sept 21-25 we are fitting the students for their Broadway show costumes. We are in need of some volunteers and donations. Please read the schedule below to make sure your student is prepared for the day and if you are available to help. You can email me with your availability and you do not need a child in the class to volunteer. shwallace@losal.org
Garment Bags
https://www.amazon.com/ZARLOO-
ALL students need a garment bag and hanger to store their costume. It is helpful if their bag is unique so they can find it easy. If you have one at home they can use, or you can purchase one on Amazon, please send those in on Monday. I have some for the students can borrow but I do not have enough for everyone. I've linked one from Amazon, but you can use any color, any fabric, etc and you can decorate the bag with Duck tape or paint to make it unique. Make it easy for them to find the bag on a rack with 180 other bags! Make sure the bag zips closed as they will be storing their shoes in the bottom of the bag.

Parent helpers
If you are available to help with any of these fittings please let me know. It's OK if you don't have sewing experience. You can assist the seamstress in pinning. If you do have sewing experience, Ms. Christina and Ms. Kelly would love your help so please let us know if you can assist. I would love to have some dads in Soul Men on Monday and Wednesday to assist in hanging suits. This is a new concept for most of them and last year they couldn't figure out how to hang t-shirts :P
Donations
We are in need of sturdy hangers for dresses and suits. Suit hangers need a strong bottom to hold the pants. Dress hangers need the little cut out on the top for straps. Please send your student with a hanger and if you have extras-even just one or two-please send those as well.
