Hello Familes! 

 

As the busy month of December approaches, The ULAS just wanted to let you know what we're up to...

-PLEASE try the costume on at home and be willing to so small repairs or cleaning. These are shared costumes and we do our very best to get a good fit, but they may need minor alterations. The ULAS does not require families to purchase their own costumes every year and we hope to keep it that way with your cooperation.
