VI. UNIFORM POLICY The Bible tells us that "man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (I Samuel 16:7). God knows our spiritual condition by our hearts, but men can initially see only the physical body and how it is clothed. Therefore, it is necessary for those who attend CAK to present a neat, attractive appearance as a testimony of God whom we serve. Uniform items are to be purchased solely from: Educational Outfitters - http://www.educationaloutfitters.com/ Lands End - http://www.landsend.com/, preferred school number 900026261.
