Mary of Nazareth's Cotillion program offers an introduction to ballroom dancing and social grace training for eighth-grade boys and girls. Students enjoy the opportunity to learn basic dance steps and etiquette skills from professional instructors. Parent volunteers from Mary of Nazareth serve as chaperones, and funds are used to support our eighth grade's annual class trip to New York City.

Dear Parents,
In consultation with Mrs. Chen, Director of the Manners Lab, we have decided to postpone Cotillion scheduled at Mary of Nazareth School this fall. We have determined current CDC and ADW Guidelines will limit Cotillion activities to the point the overall program will be adversely impacted. With the hope that requirements may relax in a few months, we have decided to reschedule Cotillion for the late winter and spring. In the event the new dates don’t work for your family, please follow the instructions below to be reimbursed. We will share the new dates as soon as we are able to coordinate schedules with Mrs. Chen.
Immediate Reimbursement Instructions:
● Please email Katie Schultz at kschultz@maryofnazareth.org with your first and last name and a full reimbursement will be issued.
Please direct any questions to Michelle Himes at mhimes@maryofnazareth.org or Michelle Lamotteo at lamotteo@verizon.net
