The Gaston County Chapter had a very busy September! We had our first Junior Cotillion class for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. We learned, we danced, and we had a blast!! We also concluded our fall Pre-Cotillion session. The last class we celebrate birthday etiquette and it’s always so much fun! We look forward to our 2nd Junior Cotillion meeting of the season tomorrow!

We can guarantee we will have your kids singing “fork, plate, knife, then spoon!” 🎶

🌟 Teaching manners starts with the little things…

One of our favorite tools for teaching young children how to set the table is this personalized placemat. It’s colorful, simple, and makes learning fun!

Setting the table is more than just placing forks and spoons — it’s about responsibility, order, and showing care for others. When children learn these habits early, it builds a foundation for confidence and kindness that carries into everyday life.

Have you tried something like this at home? We’d love to hear what works for your family!
