GUIDELINES
The guidelines for this year’s Dare-to-Wear are as follows:
Each class should have at least one representative who will dress up as a book character---male, female, a non-binary being, or creature. The class may also choose to have a small group of representatives, as long as the characters are from the same book. The individual can be FICTIONAL or a REAL PERSON.
The entire class is encouraged to help out in the preparation of the costume/s of the representative/s.
The characters should not be violent, scary, obscene, or offensive. Promote characters or people that are positive role models or have a meaningful impact. Likewise, the costumes should be decent and tasteful.
Weapons and props must be harmless. Students may carry them around during the Opening Program. These props may NOT be used or brought out during class time, or lunch time.
Wearing costumes is open to all students, even if they are not officially selected as representatives.
A photowall will be set up in the Library to capture memories and celebrate their creative costumes during the day. Photos may be submitted via the QR code that will be provided. Submissions will earn participation points for the class. Selected photos will be printed and posted on a Library Photo Exhibit Wall.
Representatives may only change into their costumes during the 2nd period, before recess. Students must dress up again in the AJHS dress code after recess.
During Recess time, representatives will line-up by grade level & section at the MST lobby.
Best costumes will earn points for their class’ TRW participation. A banner will be awarded to the class with the highest number of points at the end of the celebration.
PS: We encourage students to come up with costumes/props that are not expensive, or those that can be improvised / made at home.
