My daughter just started going to Belle Isle this year, and it is the first time she has ever had to wear a uniform. I was skeptical at first, however, I really do like it now. She loves the school and has no problem wearing her uniform. Plus, she is an excellent student, and gets along great with all of her teachers and her principal.
They do get "special" days where they can wear their Belle Isle shirts and jeans, so they do get a break now and then.
Now, my daughter doesn't have to decide what fashion statement she makes each day......of course, when she gets home from school, she changes into her comfy clothes.
