Twenty West Manor Elementary students enjoyed a fine-dining experience in the West Manor Café last week following a one-hour etiquette class on Jan. 19 sponsored by Sodexo-Jackmont. Sodexo-Jackmont’s Chef Praylani conducted the class earlier in the week in preparation for the meal. Third- and fourth-graders shared a four-course meal complete with salad, soup, entrée, and dessert, prepared by Chef Praylani and his staff. They also spoke with Sodexo-Jackmont Executive Chef Desmond Fannin about his career as a chef. Each student received a certificate for completion of the etiquette course at the luncheon.
“Most of the students enjoyed their soup bowls and plated dishes, but their favorite item was the warm buttered bread served with the meal,” said West Manor Elementary Principal Cheryl Twyman.
