The Week of Respect is a week during which we encourage students to live by the Golden Rule; treat others the way you would like to be treated. This means being tolerant and accepting of differences, using good manners, being considerate of the feelings of others, and dealing peacefully with anger, unkindness  and disagreements. We focus on respecting one’s self, others, the community and the Earth. Week of Respect for 2024 is October 7-11. Please see the email from me for more information on how we will be celebrating the Week of Respect!
