Manners are something that are sometimes undervalued in our society, but can greatly benefit our school and families. Good manners provide order and efficiency. They encourage kindness and respect. Manners help us in our Christian duty to think of others before ourselves, treating them like Christ. Some basic manners that even the youngest children can learn include using "please" and "thank you," looking someone in the eye when speaking to them, and using the proper form of address such as "Mr." or "Mrs." toward an adult. As kids grow older, they can learn table manners, firm handshakes, greeting a stranger, proper posture, and responding to an adult with "Yes Ma'am" or "Yes Sir." These seemingly simple gestures can make a great difference in the culture of our home or school. The great American educator, Horace Mann, once said, "Manners easily and rapidly mature into morals."

ATTENTION ALL 7TH GRADE PARENTS!
Every year the 7th grade class is responsible for planning and hosting the 8th Grade Graduation reception, (because it will be their children graduating the next year).
Every 7th grade family will be involved - this is a passing of the torch and you'll be grateful for that next year!
7th Grade parents are responsible for setting up, serving and cleaning up the reception dinner that is put on for our 8th grade families and their guests.
