The Athens Academy Upper School Dress Code, as written by Elmo

                Ooo a dress code! Elmo loves dress codes! Everyone wants to do good in school, and the first part of doing good is looking good! Me walks around Athens Academy and boy is it nice to see all the boys and girls looking snazzy and handsome. 

                Boys are silly and always a mess, but there’s no need to dress that way! There are so many options of colors and sizes and brands and styles and materials! For a shirt, you can wear one that’s collared or turtleneck, but be sure to tuck it in! For bottoms, there’s dress shorts (only 2 inches above the knee!), slacks, or even jeans.  Boy this is exciting! Don’t forget your shoes! Where do me even start? There’s sneakers, Birkenstocks, sandals, and plenty more! Just make sure they are clean and in good condition!  Phew, if Elmo were to go to Athens Academy he knows exactly what he would wear every single day! Elmo would wear a bright red collared shirt with bright red shorts and bright red sandals. Pretty awesome, right? 

                Girls, don’t think I have forgotten about you! Me knows you love dressing up and looking nice, so this is no problem for you! Plus, you have lots more options than the boys. Your tops can be collared, turtleneck, or even have a scoop, v-neck, or crewneck.  Your bottoms can be shorts, skorts, slacks, jeans, dresses, or skirts! Jeeze, how do you even choose!? I know girlies love to touch up their outfit with some good looking shoes! So you can choose from sneakers, dress shoes, Birkenstocks, dress sandals, or leather sandals. My girlfriend, Zoe, practically drools over all these options.  She always seems to wear a tu tu…don’t ask why. 

                Let’s just make sure we don’t turn this dress code into a mess code! Avoid things like camouflage, short shorts/skirts, athletic bottoms, extreme piercings and haircuts, and facial hair. But who likes that stuff nowadays anyway? Elmo doesn’t! 

                So go into your closet and pick out all the good stuff! I know it will be hard with so many options, but you can do it! See you at school!
