The Athens Academy Upper School Dress Code, as written by a preacher

The Bible teaches us that we should dress MODESTLY and not in a way that will bring attention to ourselves and provoke lustful thoughts from other peoples.  Here at Athens Academy, we believe the same thing. Before coming to school every morning, look in the mirror and ask yourself: "Would I want to meet Jesus dressed like this?"

    This was absolutely hysterical! The beginning was great. I especially loved the part when you asked the question "Would I want to meet Jesus dressed like this?" That was great. I think you really captured the tone of a preacher. I also loved how you ended it with another question "What would Jesus do?"

    Extremely MODEST<--I'm not 100% sure those go together. Anyway, I really loved this one. The preacher doesn't seem too stingy and stuff actually, which I kinda like. In the same time there are obvious rules set. And as said by everyone in the class, I like how it opened and how you used the "would you want to be dressed this way in front of Jesus" lines.

    This was hilarious! You did a great job establishing a disaplined, preacher-like tone. I loved how you asked retorichal questions like " what would Jesus do?" adding a humorous effect. I like how you emphasized on sophistication and modesty just as a preacher may do. You established your tone very early on with your intro paragraph and then through out the actual dress code. GOOD JOB!
