Our 5th Grade Boys Club & G.E.M.M.A. Girls Club learned all about ETIQUETTE. Mr. Brunson taught the gentlemen how to escort the young ladies to their seats, pull out their chairs, and ensure “ladies are first”. They also learned about place setting and how to use their silverware to communicate to their server. They were served a delicious meal and dessert by Mrs. Woodard and Ms. Hughes. The atmosphere was filled with lovely music, nervous giggles, and a-ha moments. It is our aim to give our students experiences beyond the classroom that they can carry throughout a lifetime.
