Christmas Play costumes

As you have heard, the Grade Six costumes for the Christmas Play this year are to be Dickens' era costumes. We request that all costumes be at school by Monday December 17th. (You may bring them earlier, and leave them in your lockers.) On the 17th, the Grade Six class will try on their costumes to ensure that we are all on the same page. Here are some resources and references to help you get started in your costume search:
