The award is given annually to recognize a person who best influences the students with personal examples of manners and etiquette.

Students of the National League of Junior Cotillions, Eastern Shore Chapter presented its annual Best-Mannered Teacher Award to Ann Wiseman of Salisbury. Mrs. Wiseman was the founder and initial teacher of the NLJC Eastern Shore Chapter which covers the area of the Lower Eastern Shore, including Eastern Shore Virginia.

In bringing the program to the Eastern Shore, Mrs. Wiseman was devoted to helping the 5th through 8th graders to learn manners, etiquette, and ballroom dance which teach them to respect themselves, their parents, their teachers and those they will meet and interact with the rest of their lives.

The current program instructor and director, Lisa Chase of Dover, made the presentation at the last class session which included an instructional dinner with parents and others.

While making the presentation, Ms. Chase said that Ms. Wiseman had taught her “how to exhibit grace under pressure, and when the unexpected happens you roll with it. Do what we can gracefully, and God will be there, too.”
