Emily Harris, director of the local Junior Cotillion said, “This is a marvelous opportunity for students to practice the social skills they have been practicing all year. I also love that these Junior Cotillion students are learning very important manners and etiquette that can often be missed in today’s digital and technology – heavy learning environments. These cotillion classes will help them the rest of their lives and we have a lot of fun in the process!”
