Teaching Table Etiquette for Future Success
In today’s fast-paced world, proper table manners are often overlooked, yet they play a crucial role in professional and social settings. Whether it’s a business lunch or a formal dinner interview, knowing how to navigate a meal with confidence can set someone apart. That’s why at CBTECH, we took the opportunity to teach our students the importance of etiquette through what we call “Manner’s Meal.”
During this event, all students were served a meal while learning about place settings, table manners, and professional dining etiquette. Seating was intentionally randomized, encouraging students to engage in conversation with new faces—an essential skill in both networking and the workforce.
A huge shoutout to our Culinary Arts students who prepared the delicious meals! AM students enjoyed Chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican breakfast, while PM students were served Schnitzel for lunch.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Hello Nature, Pieces of Parrott, and Brady White and his family for their generosity in helping with decorations and table setup. Your efforts made our dining experience truly special, and we appreciate your willingness to help make the event as beautiful as it was!
At CBTECH, we believe that preparing students for their future isn’t just about technical skills—it’s also about teaching them how to present themselves with confidence, respect, and professionalism.

#Reminder #ApplyNow #WAVE #ScholarshipOpportunity
https://wtb.wa.gov/wave/
Deadline March 17th!
Overview
What is the Washington Award for Vocational Excellence?
WAVE is a merit scholarship that honors the achievements of Washington’s top career and technical education students. There are up to 147 winners each year — three from each state legislative district.
In 2024, there are 121 winners from across Washington.
When can I apply for WAVE?
The WAVE application portal is now open and closes on March 17, 2025.
When do I find out if I won?
June 2025.
When can I use the scholarship?
Fall semester or quarter 2025.
How much does the WAVE scholarship pay?
Many factors determine awards, including available funding and where students go to school. At a minimum, students will receive about $3,900 per year, for two years, or $7,800 total. The amount of funding may be less than the full award, if an awardee’s institution charges less in tuition and fees. WAVE winners have up to three years to begin using the award. WAVE awards are based on legislative funding and the total number of awarded grants. Financial aid rules may also apply.
Who is eligible to apply?
Graduating Washington high school seniors are eligible. These high school career and technical education (CTE) students must have completed, or be in the process of completing, the equivalent of two high school CTE credits in a single CTE pathway.
Community and technical college students are also eligible. These students must attend one of Washington’s 34 public community and technical colleges, and be in the process of completing at least one year of a professional-technical program.
Historical funding and awardees
The WAVE scholarship was relaunched in 2022 after it was paused during the Great Recession. Details for 2022-24 follow.
