Eagles with Etiquette Club
Sponsor: D. Cummings & T.Ennis
Promote positive social skills to counteract factors of substance abuse by providing the following: a local venue for student demonstration of positive, complimentary, cooperative social skills and good etiquette.
Mission: The best and the brightest students of Lake Forest Elementary Charter School, from grades 4th to 8th will organize themselves for the purpose of initiating activities that are designed to enhance student interpersonal and social competence. Students perform choral readings and skits school wide via the intercom system during afternoon announcements. Lessons on how we live and interact with others help students become polished for any situation, including good manners, “Refusal Skills”, develop self-confidence, assertiveness, review table manners/ cafeteria etiquette, rules for taking pride and respecting property, anti-bullying and teasing etc.
Students must complete an application, take an honor pledge and attend meetings to practice for each presentation. These students also serve as escorts extending a warm welcome to visitors and guests.

- Their names are listed in the school newsletter and they are recognized during our end of year school honor assembly.
- Eagles with Etiquette participants provide training for themselves and peers thereby negating negative factors of substance use and abuse.
