April is the Month of the Military Family in Florida! The Month of the Military Family provides communities with an opportunity to honor and share gratitude for the service of military children. This year, we invite you to “Purple Up!” on April 15, 2026, by wearing purple as a visible way to show support and thank military children. Purple was chosen because it is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military. It is a combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine Corps red, Space Force blue and Navy blue. Students and staff in schools across Florida are encouraged to participate in this celebration of the courage of military families and to honor their hard work.

The Treadway Ladies Club (TLC) kicked off the month of March with their very first lesson focused on table etiquette — the beginning of a special series that will lead up to our signature Blossoming Bond Spring Tea. 🌸☕
During this foundational session, our guest speaker Ms. Dylas ( member of Leesburg Alumni Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. ) introduced TLC members to basic table setup, including proper placement of plates, napkins, forks, knives, spoons, and glasses. They learned the importance of posture, polite conversation, eye contact, and how to confidently engage in respectful dialogue during a meal. The girls also practiced essential etiquette skills such as when to begin eating, how to properly use utensils (from the outside in), how to excuse themselves from the table, and the importance of gratitude toward hosts and servers.
This lesson was more than just learning which fork to use — it was about building confidence, self-awareness, and grace in social settings. Each upcoming session will continue to refine their skills as they prepare to shine with poise and confidence at the Blossoming Bond Spring Tea. 🌷✨
