A Parent’s Viewpoint on Our Children’s Program
We recently received the following letter from one of our parents:
Dear Ms. Newfield and Staff,
What an amazing week! My two boys, though not as eager as their mom in attending an "etiquette class", became etiquette gurus around our dinner table after attending the Children's Etiquette Training class. Napkins folded in laps, elbows off the table, and the words "please" and "thank you" around our dinner table certainly set a positive dining experience with my once rambunctious boys. They are dining like the fine young men their father and I so hoped they would be! Thank you so much for the care and hard work you took in giving my boys the confidence to become such well rounded gentlemen.
Sincerely,
W. Smith
Mother or Robert and Josh
Congratulations Julie Roberts!
Sending kudos to our February 2010 Graduate, Julie Roberts, on conducting her first children's etiquette class! Best of luck in what we know will be a successful business with Etiquette Edge - From Forks and Spoons to Conference Rooms in Belmont, North Carolina.
July 2010 Children’s Etiquette Training
Our summer Children's Etiquette Training Session was a huge success! A total of 13 children participated in our five day class. Peggy Newfield, our President, asked each child on the first day how many wanted to come to "etiquette lessons". Seven children said they were "strongly encouraged" to participate.The children were asked that same question during their last day in class. It was unanimous!!! All 13 wanted to know if they could sign up for next summer's class. Isn't it amazing how quickly we change our minds!

Vicki Bauer on Katie, Social Media
As a newly retired school principal, I thank you for providing up to date, state of the art teaching materials for your ASP graduates. Katie explained the technical complexities of social media in such a way that one automatically felt at ease. Her knowledge and expertise with all avenues of social media makes one realize how important and vital it is for someone just starting out in business.

Mary Lindsay on Our Five Course Dinner
Brenda and Sheyla created stunning dinner tablescapes for all of us to enjoy. The children were blown away and mesmerized by the animal jungle that extended from one end of the 35 ft. table to the other end. As a side benefit, the children enjoyed conversing about the decorations and massive flowers. Joshua said the delicious food tasted even better sitting at such a beautiful table.

Leslie Zimmerman on Carmen,
Communications Skills
Carmen, our communication specialist was such a big help. She taught me the importance of engaging my audience with my facial expressions, tone of voice and improving my verbal skills. My one-minute speeches stretched me a mile. First, I must learn my material thoroughly so I can put all my new skills into play.

Sue Vernam on Dolores and Dining
“Hands on with the Children” is one of the most effective ways to learn. Dolores made dining fun and she was so well informed. During our dining sessions, our class laughed like children while learning how to use a fish fork and knife. Dolores is the epitome of “Queen of Tips” on how to remember where all those forks and knives went and what their functions were. Loved it!

Angela Davis on Martha, our chef
Martha’s culinary skills are phenomenal! Everyday, our continental breakfast (yum, those fresh baked pastries and fresh fruit) and lunch, which we all could hardly wait for, was prepared and seasoned perfectly. I had no idea the meals would be so fresh, healthy and delicious. I felt as if our class was dining in a five star restaurant each day.

Layne Sasser on Rebecca, CPR training
I have been anxious about taking a CPR class in the past and have avoided it. Now that I am being certified to teach children, this teaching is a must. Rebecca made this experience informative and easy to understand. I loved working with those blue dummies. I hope I never have to use my CPR skills, but I feel empowered if I am presented with an emergency situation.

Felicia Layeni on our Founder
I chose ASP because Peggy was recommended by a number of etiquette experts as the absolute authority in this field. A national leader in a group that I belong to attributed their success to Peggy and they were right. Peggy’s leadership, strong curriculum and ongoing support have given me the solid foundation I need to teach and succeed.
