Concert attire needed

The new choir teacher, Bella Garcia y Lauer at both IRMS and CHS, is trying to outfit her singers in formal concert attire without excess expense and could use some help from the community with donations. If you have something in your closet that can fit ages 10-18, please drop it off at Icicle River Middle School, labeling it for the choir program.

 The current needs: Solid black shoes (black sole trim and laces, no visible logos, no Vans or Jordans) that are easy to walk in.

Solid black tops with no visible logos or accent colors. Polos, button ups and blouses are great. No crop tops or low cut. Solid black skirts or dresses that are knee length or longer. Solid black pants/trousers without visible logos. No leggings, jeans, or distressed looks.

Artist Dillion at the Library

Teara believes that sharing unique views creates diversity and allows us to celebrate our differences. She is inspired by bright colors, the human form, and nature. Impressionism is a favorite style of hers, with its loose, quick brush strokes, thick texture, and generous use of color.
