Fourth through eighth graders experience more than 100 different social skills, including greetings and introductions, polite conversation, first impressions, dress codes, manners in the home, manners in public and dining etiquette, to name a few. Classes will meet monthly at the Arsenal on Sundays beginning on August 26.  To register, email Director@MannersMatter.org, or contact Mary Kennerty, Junior Cotillion Director, at 843-881-8755.
