DS and I have been talking about what he's going to wear on his first day at Anderson. What's typical for boys there? I know there's no uniform, but he wants to look extra special -- would a coat and tie seem too weird? TIA! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

DD and I went shopping this weekend for her back-to-school outfits. She's picked out a very pretty dress, but I bet she changes her mind before September rolls around (and we do more shopping). She's SO creative! [ Reply | More

LOL! MY DS asked if he could wear glasses his first day of school to make him "look smarter." I said, "honey. You're already super smart! You don't need to PRETEND!" [ Reply | More

Kind of OT: DS has already studied the map and found no less than 8 different routes we can take when we walk to Anderson for school. He's even marked where his favorite deli's are along the way "in case we get thirsty." Can you believe him??? [ Reply | More

yes, put your child in a t-shirt or polo and shorts, that is what is "typical" for boys at any non-uniform school in this country (and basically what they wear for uniforms as well, in warm weather) [ Reply | More

Not lumping you in intentionally. Hang around a little longer and you will. Or look up its ranking every yr. For a school with 50 dcs in a class, yes it is consistently number 1 private school in the country [ Reply | More

Anderson Mom Here: I think a tie would be cute. The kids really do need a way to stand out and be special. I think there should be an Anderson uniform or t-shirt so people can tell who the Anderson kids are. [ Reply | More
