GRAND JUNCTION, Colo -

A grade school teacher is bringing a unique lesson to his class; the importance of manners.

Mike Frazer, third grade teacher at Nisley Elementary goes all out during this lesson every year.

Students start by going to the symphony; and after come back to the classroom to learn manners all while sitting down for a nice, fancy lunch.

A group of students even have some pretty big responsibilities to make this special day go off without a hitch.

"To make sure everything is going right, we seat them right and to make sure all the food is right just like they ordered it; just to make sure everything is all right, said student Elleanna Rodas."

"We even have some scenarios like, what do you do if your food comes wrong, or if you're waiting a long time what's a polite way to address your waiter or waitress; things like that just to teach a higher level of respect," said teacher Mike Frazer.

This is the forth year Mr. Frazer has put on this event. He says students look forward to it every year.
