WPS Keeps Tradition of Teaching Proper Manners & Etiquette

6/12/2023

Berlin, MD – A curriculum of learning proper manners and etiquette for this day and age, ends in a special event for Worcester Preparatory School’s (WPS) 5th grade students.

During the end of this school year, Worcester Prep’s 5th grade class studied the American Academy of Etiquette curriculum. An array of topics was discussed, such as when it is appropriate to text or make a phone call, proper dining etiquette, how to formally introduce yourself to the host of a party, the ins and outs of writing a thank you note, and much more.

The completion of the lesson was celebrated during a Manners Banquet on June 1 at The Hyatt Place in Dewey Beach with a presentation of manners and etiquette followed by dinner. The students performed skits to show what they had learned and how to communicate with others and closed out the evening with a special dance with their loved ones.
