Our 6th grade Career Exploration students had an amazing hands-on experience during their Hospitality & Tourism unit! 🍽️
A big thank you to guest speaker Donna Johnston for leading a fun and interactive table etiquette class. Students learned how to properly set a formal table, use napkins correctly, enjoy soup and bread with confidence, and signal when they’re finished eating.
Beyond the table, students strengthened important skills like listening, critical thinking, and following multi-step directions—all while connecting classroom learning to real-world careers.
We are so grateful to Mrs. Johnston for sharing her time and expertise. What a valuable and memorable experience for our students! ✨
