THE GOLLATZ COTILLION PRESENTS: COTILLION & LIFE SKILLS AT THE MULHOLLAND TENNIS CLUB
|
|
|
The Gollatz program is a modern Cotillion with updated instructional approach for boys and girls grades third through sixth grade. During the Cotillion class, the focus is on good table manners, respecting values and building self-confidence. The format of the Gollatz Cotillion is to mimic “real life” scenarios. A child will be prepared to attend a family dinner, a formal reception or social parties with confidence. The Gollatz Cotillion does not consider itself a “dance class” though Cotillion dances will be taught (swing, cha-cha, fox-trot and other fun dances) to complete the social training. Your child will enjoy and have fun at the
Gollatz Cotillion!
Listed are some of the social manners your child will learn throughout the year:
The handshake (social/business) and the art of conversation ~ Direct eye contact ~ Chewing with our mouths closed ~ How to tie a necktie ~ Cell phone and ~Giving a fun toast ~ Being a thoughtful guest and the perfect gift to give ~ Dining skills ~ How to set a table correctly ~
Games and fun!

The Emmanuel Lutheran Church Stewardship Committee will be holding another Neighborhood Cleanup Day,
Saturday, October 12th from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
We’re looking for volunteers from the Emmanuel Community for this worthy project. The time will count towards volunteer hours for Laurel Hall parents and students. All are welcome to join us.
Tools and supplies will be provided by The City of Los Angeles, however, it is recommended to bring your own work gloves if you have them. Volunteers should arrive at the reception room by 8:00 AM for instructions and the dispensing of equipment, so we can get to the streets by 8:30 or sooner. We will gather afterwards in the reception room for pizza, water and socializing!
We hope you can find time in your busy schedules to join in this service to our surrounding community. We’ve picked up a lot of trash the past few years and along with it the satisfaction of knowing we made a difference. We look forward to seeing you on the 12th!
Questions can be directed to
Tom Reilly: tbasreilly@hotmail.com or (818) 486-3056

EASY WAYS TO HELP LAUREL HALL
EARN MONEY!
|
|
|
Two super easy ways to earn money for Laurel Hall:
1) Ralphs: If you have a Ralphs Rewards card, you can go to Ralphs.com to register your Rewards account and then select Laurel Hall as your Community Program. Linking Laurel Hall to your Rewards card earns money for our school every time you shop at Ralphs. Fun math fact: By spending an average of $400/month at Ralphs, you can earn Laurel Hall around $150/year. If just 100 families enrolled, that’s $15,000! AND...ask your co-workers/family members to enroll too! IMPORTANT: This program requires you to re-enroll every 12-months in order for contributions to continue to go to Laurel Hall School.
2) Amazon Smile: If you log into your Amazon account via www.smile.amazon.com you can select "Emmanuel Lutheran Church-Laurel Hall School" and Amazon will donate money to our school when you make purchases using www.smile.amazon.com.
How easy is that?!
