Looking sharp: AIS enjoys second Ties & Tees Tuesday

Published 6:00 pm Wednesday, October 25, 2023

Athens Intermediate School fourth and fifth graders participated in their second Ties & Tees Tuesday on Oct. 24. The dress for success campaign will enable students the opportunity to explore and envision their future while learning the art and skill of how to tie a tie.

Athens Intermediate School strives to incorporate positive character traits and ways to help students learn real-life skills to prepare them for future success.

“We hope our AIS students gain one more tool for their personal toolbox as we help to build these young people’s character. How to tie a tie and pick appropriate attire for an event as well as greet someone and make eye contact are life skills we think are very important to making a positive impression. We want to give students confidence in themselves,” Library Media Specialist Dana Pressnell said.
