Dressed For Success

I would put the Winchendon students up against any school as the best dressed student body in the business. At first the formal dress code was something that I was a bit skeptical of. I am a fan of casual and pushed hard in my old business days to break through to the “corporate-casual” standards of the nineties.

But once again, I am wrong! Each day I am impressed at how great our student body looks compared to so many of the schools that I have visited. These are well dressed, happy kids who get up, dress neatly, and head off to their jobs of being successful in the classroom. There is work to be done and the students don’t have to spend a lot of time worrying about fashion each day. They are focused on the business at hand.

That isn’t to say that the ties, jackets and dresses don’t disappear pretty quickly each day as classes come to an end. They do, and it is still a pretty good-looking group of kids when they abandon their finery for the afternoon.

But they sure are a sharp looking bunch when they are dressed for success each day. I wouldn’t fault them if they think that their Headmaster sure could use some fashion tips!
