"Casual" day

[daemonluna]

The last Friday of every month is casual day at one of my two schools. Usually, the wee kiddies are in uniform, but on casual day, there are no uniforms and there is a theme. Pajama day, wacky hair day, inside-out day, these are all well and good. (Fancy Dress Day in December, not so much.)

I spent an hour tonight making a giant paper bag.

Tomorrow is "dress like your favourite book character day," and seeing as I'm the librarian, I can't exactly not play. (Plus, Friday mornings I have five classes in, and all but one class of grade fours is seven or under.)

So yes, I am going as the Paper Bag Princess. We share the same first name and everything. We shall see how many Harry Potters there are running about. I'm totally taking my camera!

It's so cool that schools still have Book dress-up day.

Coming from 13 years of school uniform, I remember how exciting that was, to dress up. I went as George Herriman's 'Krazy Kat' when I was about 8.
Yes, I KNOW it's a comic and not a book, but it was obscure enough that noone argued with me ;)

International Days were always popular, too.
They were a LOT less frequent than once a month, though. Damn, I bet that stresses a lot of non-crafty parents ;)
