Sessums Black Firm Administrator Paul Kanjorski and the Suncoast Chapter Association of Legal Administrators recently partnered with Academy Prep Center of Tampa to host a special Etiquette Luncheon for the school’s 6th-grade students.

Held at Maggiano’s Little Italy, the luncheon offered students a fun and interactive way to learn essential networking and dining etiquette. The twist? The students were tasked with catching Paul and other adult guests making etiquette faux pas during the meal! ALA participants helped guide conversations and demonstrated the do’s and don’ts of dressing for success—sparking both laughter and learning throughout the event.

Reflecting on the experience, Paul shared, “I was so impressed with how enthusiastic and well-prepared the students were. I think they really enjoyed the opportunity to tell the adults in the room how to behave for a change. It was one of the most exhilarating and rewarding events I’ve participated in for a very long time.”

Academy Prep Center of Tampa is a nationally accredited nonprofit middle school that inspires and empowers students who qualify for need-based scholarships to become future community leaders. Sessums Black is proud to support Paul, the ALA, and the mission of the Academy Prep Center, and to help shape tomorrow’s professionals.
