What is Protocol?
Each year the high school students participate in the Logos Protocol program in which we teach the importance of manners and deference. After teaching classes on proper dress, the art of conversation, table etiquette, and more, we create an enjoyable social event in which the students can practice and become comfortable with what they have learned. Each year the juniors and seniors participate in High Protocol, a formal event, usually in Spokane. The freshmen and sophomores participate in Low Protocol, a local semi formal event.
Last year the juniors and seniors had diner at the Glover Mansion and then attend the Broadway production of The Lion King in Spokane, Washington.
It is important to keep in mind that this is not the equivalent of “prom” or a date–it’s better. The young men are assigned a young lady to escort for the first half of the event, and escorts are changed at least once during the evening.
What are the Logos Moms?
It’s pretty basic, really. This is a purely voluntary organization of (you guessed it!) Logos Moms who want to show our appreciation to the school and to the teachers for all of their hard work and sacrifice for our children! We all know how hard the teachers work, and if we could give them a pay raise we’d do it! But since that’s not really in the realm of possibility, we’d like to make the teachers’ jobs a bit easier this year . . . as well as show them some tangible evidence of our gratitude, even if it just means bringing them a coffee occasionally!
It’s often easy to assume that someone else is doing it . . . signing up to help with reading, or offering to bring cookies for the class party . . . that kind of thing. And there have been times when things have fallen through the cracks. Field trips have had to be canceled in the past because no one offered to drive, etc.
We know that there are loads of enthusiastic Logos Moms out there who, like the rest of us, are crazy busy and sometimes just don’t notice that something’s not been taken care of. So we’re hoping that if we organize ourselves a bit better then we can make sure that sort of thing doesn’t happen!
We would also like to help with occasional fundraising. The goal of the fundraising would be to have some money to put towards things like Christmas bonuses for the teachers, or end of the year thank you gifts etc. — From the Logos Moms Website
