A Very Dapper 8 Year Old

This is something you do not see everyday, an 8 year old who is as dapper as Frank Sinatra! I'll be honest, I wish I would have thought more like this kid when going to school, instead I wore sweatpants and hoodies to school most days. Find out why this kid is the coolest 8 year old out there!

James Ramage is an 8 year old middle school student from Maine who loves to look good. From what we know, this all started a few years ago when James decided he wanted to dress up and look nice for school everyday. But what started out as something he just did, has now turned into an entire theme for the school.

James said he wanted to be himself, and being himself meant dressing up in a full 3 piece everyday for school. He said when he started dressing nice, other kids would look at him strange and wonder what was going one. After a while, other kids started to join in and now it has become apart of the schools weekly celebrations.

Chelsea Elementary school in Maine has now dubbed every Wednesday as "Dapper Wednesdays". What these means is each Wednesday all the kids in the school dress up in their Sunday best and show it off.

Here is a report from CBS Evening News:

The reaction from views was great to see. Instead of making fun of this little kid, people think it is awesome and so do I! Like I said, I wish I dressed up like this during school, even to this day I feel different when I dress up really nice. There is something about having a suit on and a nice pair of shoes that makes you feel great about yourself.
