High School Etiquette Dinner- hands-on confidence building learning!

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Parents,

I hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer!
​
I’m excited to share that registration is now open for one of my favorite events of the year- our annual Guided Etiquette Dinner for High School Students, taking place on Wednesday, July 29th.
​
This event always fills quickly.

During this special evening, students will enjoy a delicious meal while learning practical dining etiquette and conversation skills in a welcoming, engaging setting. These are the topics parents request most- and with good reason. They’re tools teens can carry confidently into interviews, college visits, and social gatherings.

Here’s what we’ll cover together:

  • Why Dining Etiquette Matters
  • Posture at the Table
  • Napkin Manners
  • What Is Where on the Table
  • The Informal and the Formal Place Setting
  • Soup Manners
  • Bread & Butter Manners
  • Beverage Manners
  • How to Cut Food Correctly
  • American & Continental Dining Styles
  • Dining Out Tips (and Buffet Manners)
  • Do’s & Don’ts at the Table
  • Keys to Conversation Confidence (with guided conversational icebreakers during the meal)

📅Date & Time: Wednesday, July 29 * 5:30 - 7:30
🏨Where: Feed Co. Private Dining Room in the Southside
🍽️Price: $110 - includes dinner and instruction

Please share this opportunity with other parents.

I hope to see your student on the 29th!

All my best,
Dawn Jumper

Hi friends, As summer winds down, it's time to think about the new school year. Is your child feeling confident and ready? One of the best ways to help children feel confident is to teach them how to handle everyday social situations. When young people know how to introduce themselves, start and join conversations, show respect, and use good table manners, they're more comfortable- and that means they are confident and prepared. That's why I'm excited to offer Everyday Etiquette: Back to...
