"All American Tea Party"

The fourth graders welcomed Mrs. Millie Chastain today.  Mrs. Chastain was trained and certified by The Protocol School of Washington, the leader in etiquette and protocol services.  She spoke to us on the importance of Veteran's Day, Flag etiquette, and manners.  She also provided snacks and an American flag pin for us all. We salute Mrs. Chastain for her service and dedication to today's young Americans.
