W.S. Mount Elementary School recently hosted its beloved Fancy Lunch, an annual tradition that began in 2016 as a Site-Based Team initiative with support from the Mount PTA. This year’s event marked an exciting expansion, including both fifth and sixth grade students, as they prepare for their transition to middle school.

The event offers students a fun, hands-on opportunity to practice the manners and etiquette they learned during a special presentation. Topics covered included general manners, table etiquette, formal place settings and tips on making respectful introductions in social settings.

Students dressed for the occasion, adding to the sense of formality and celebration. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many students expressing how much they enjoyed the experience and appreciated the chance to learn in such an engaging way.
