MLC Promotions
MLC has been a valued uniform partner for many years. They offer an online store and stop by our campus several times throughout the year for in-person shopping.
Our Uniform Dress Code is driven by a desire to create and promote an atmosphere of learning where clothing is not a distraction to the educational process. Our goal for our staff, students, and parents is that we can honor God in all that we do as we set a good example for one another in the way that we express ourselves through how we dress. Uniforms also allow us to build unity as a school community and promote school spirit. Uniform Dress Code interpretation is at the discretion of Bell Shoals Academy staff.
