Am I the only one questioning the reality of any of this? What kind of kid just happens to have an Elvis costume laying around?
No, the dialogue between a mother and child every time a school wants kids to dress up as something is “Oh hell how are we going to throw this together?” Yes even for an elf costume. And I can’t think of any scenario where a school would suddenly spring this on a family “oh by the way you all need to dress up like an elf for tomorrow’s morning assembly.”
Being a caretaker for small humans, as well as an educator, I would say that no amount of info material will guarantee a successful delivery. Only way is to require a parental signature, and enough time to follow up a couple of times. IDK that seems a bit over the top for a theme morning assembly.
Really it’s just a dumb claim, because any school event kids are going to dress up for is always planned in detail ahead of time. It’s a big thing the kids look forward to and talk about. A teacher doesn’t just say, “Dress up like elves, ok bye.”

This didn’t happen.
That part makes sense. They could’ve told the kid way sooner and sent several notes home that are still in his backpack.

Not to mention that Elvis died 50 years ago - what elementary aged school child knows who Elvis is? My kids find the music of the 2000s to be retro
One in Collingwood.
It’s quite plausible though, considering they just returned from the class trip to Las Vegas.
Ah yes that annual third grade class trip for gambling and hookers
