Please plan to attend our TRIO SSS End of Semester Celebration Virtual Costume Party next Thursday, April 23 from 4:00 to 5:00 pm.

You can wear any type of costume. It doesn't have to be a fancy Halloween costume.

Following are some ideas for costumes:

An apron and a spatula: you're a cook!

Sunglasses and a baseball cap - You're on vacation (ahhhhh, don't we wish!)

A bathrobe - you're a grandma!

Your heaviest coat and winter hat - You're an Antarctic Explorer!

A bicycle helmet and water bottle - You're on the Tour de France!

Use some black eyeliner to draw whiskers - You're a cat! Or a mouse!  

Hold up an empty picture frame - You're a self-portrait!

Cut out some black dots and put them on a white t-shirt - You're a dalmatian!

Don't worry too much about your costume, just have fun with it! See you next Thursday at 4:00 pm.
