Notes from the Music Room
I cannot believe that in approximately 3 weeks we will have our concerts! I hope that you have all checked your emails to see when your child is performing. Many students are asking me about costumes etc. Dalhousie elementary is very fortunate to have beautiful traditional Latin American custom-made costumes. Some of our classes will be wearing these and others will find their costumes from home.
Kindergarten Costumes:
Girls - We have skirts and shirts for the little girls, however, we ask that they come to school wearing white or as close to solid white t-shirts or tank top and tights (any colour).
Boys - Come to school wearing dark dress pants and a white or as close to white solid t-shirt or dress shirt.
All students can wear regular school shoes
Grade 1:
Sra Fuentes: We will provide the children with the costumes. Come to school wearing:
Girls - white or as close to solid white t-shirts or tank top and tights (any colour).

The children are at a beach going fishing. “Ideally” the costumes would be khaki shorts, capri pants or pants that are rolled up with a white or close to white T-shirt. Nothing bright or neon if possible. Please note, ideally does not mean that any money should be spent on this outfit… it’s just a guide.

We will provide the children with the costumes. Come to school wearing:
Girls - white or as close to solid white t-shirts or tank top and tights (any colour).
Boys - dark dress pants and a white or as close to solid white t-shirt.
