Update: This class is completely FULL ‼ We are proud to partner with the Bentonville-Rogers Junior Cotillion and its director, Renee Swindell, to offer an "Elementary Manners 101" class for our 1st - 5th graders. Mrs. Swindell will be teaching a short course that covers an array of proper etiquette, with an emphasis on table manners. From handshakes, proper introductions, conversation skills, meeting new people, giving sincere compliments, and SO MUCH MORE. And we know what you might be thinking, "Learning table manners, I'm not sure if my child would be interested", but that's where Mrs. Swindell's expertise comes in! There will be games, laughing, and just plain fun! Details are in the flyer below!
