It's Back to School Time

All over the United States of America, the new school year is beginning. Along with the anticipation of reading new books, learning new skills and wearing new clothes, student find themselves meeting new teachers and classmates along with greeting old ones from last school year.

This is a great time to have your children brush up on how to properly introduce themselves as well as how to introduce friends to each other and to you. After all, everybody knows the importance of first impressions.

Here is a wonderful vintage video where instructions for introduction begin at 5:58 -

Wasn't that as helpful as it was delightful?! The lovely part of these traditional american manners is that they've not changed. So, please take a few minutes to practice at home and your child will be sure to be even more confident when entering class on the first day of school or attending his or her first club meeting.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Leverette
