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


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

Good morning!Here's a Saturday edition of Friday Five- because sometimes life has other plans! Last week, we kicked off our friendship series with five foundational skills for being a good friend. This week, we’re tackling one of the harder parts of friendship: feeling left out. As a parent, it can be especially hard to watch our kids experience this. But feeling left out is something everyone experiences at times—even us adults. So let’s look at how we can help our kids handle those hard...

Happy Friday! I’m so excited for next week because I get to visit my childhood friend Suzie. We met in fifth grade when she rode her bike past my house, spotted me in the front yard, stopped in the driveway, and said, "Hi, I'm Suzie!"All these years later, she’s still one of my dearest friends. She’s known me through so many seasons of life, and maybe best of all, my whole family adores her too. It’s a sweet reminder that the friendship skills our kids are learning now really can matter for a...
