Don't miss this opportunity! Planning for next school year begins now and we need your help. Your child’s Title I school needs to hear from you and how they can improve your child’s educational experience.

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. 🌷✨
