Chrysalis Etiquette Club
- Sponsor: Renee Robertson
- Contact: renee.robertson@mjays.us
- Grades: 4th-5th
- Description
The Chrysalis Etiquette Club was created to introduce students to the importance of good manners. Students will learn about first impressions, proper greetings, message taking, dining etiquette, gratitude, sportsmanship, and more. Members meet twice each month (1st and 3rd Thursday) from 3:30 to 5:00 pm beginning in November and are expected to demonstrate good citizenship at all times. Members who successfully complete club expectations will celebrate with a banquet dinner to celebrate and demonstrate our new skills! Note: The banquet dinner is a joint venture with the FACS club. Mrs. Engelking hosts our banquet, and her FACS club students plan, cook, and serve Chrysalis students. It's a great learning experience for everyone!
