Good Food!

We had a terrific class yesteday for Manners Boot Camp!  Twenty eight (28) kids, ages 7 to 13, showed up on a Saturday morning...for a class on manners.  Needless to say, some were not thrilled; while others showed confidence in that all-important 12 to 15 seconds.

Our dining tutorial is always at the end of class....it wafts in the background, luring them and helping them cope with mundane material such as first impressions, thank you notes, and introductions.


Three students informed us they were VERY thankful "at least there was good food." 

Ask YOUR child if they know how to navigate a place setting, properly eat a dinner roll and enter the chair at the table.  There are now twenty eight more mannerly kids in northwest Houston.  Thank you, parents!
