Fortnightly is a time-honored tradition for 7th and 8th grade students in Webster Groves. Each year for many decades now, parents in the Webster Groves school district have worked together to provide our children with an opportunity to learn social skills and etiquette needed for success in business and social settings. This program is called “Fortnightly of Webster Groves,” after its original bi-weekly schedule. Today, the program is a sponsored activity of the Hixson Middle School PTO. This year the program will consist of four sessions spread throughout the school year.  There will be a final party for all participants to show off their newly learned etiquette and dance skills. 

In addition to learning some of the common conventions of meeting new people, table manners, and social media, students are also taught traditional dances as well as some contemporary dance steps.  At each session, the youth will spend two hours with professional etiquette and dance instructors, including time for socializing with friends. Volunteer parent chaperones are present at all Fortnightly of Webster Groves events.   

The Fortnightly of Webster Groves program is open to any 7th or 8th grader enrolled at Hixson Middle School, regardless of race, religion, or ability. While there is a charge for participation to cover costs, scholarships are available for families who need it, so cost should not be a barrier to any student. All requests are kept confidential.
