Manners of the Heart is a manners program for elementary-aged children belonging to our very own school counselor, Mrs. Vinson! She is using the Sincerely Yours Etiquette curriculum, created 28 years ago by Amy Rainer out of Mountain Brook, Alabama. The program is designed to teach everyday manners in social situations while also instilling a sense of character, respect, and kindness toward others based on Colossians 3:12, "Dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered and content with second place. Be quick to forgive an offense. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. Never be without it. Goodness and Grace (Rising 3rd-rising 5th girls) Topics include the following: Good Posture, First Impressions, Proper Sitting and Standing Positions, Self-Confidence, Communication, How To Properly Set a Table, Table Manners, Use of Each Utensil, Courtesy in Public Places, and many more! The lessons conclude with bringing a "special guest" to a fun tea party to practice all of our newly acquired skills!
