 Comments from “Everyday Warriors” by Ruth Hunter-  Respect is shown by actions.  Everyday Warriors demonstrate respect for themselves and others by doings things such as cleaning their rooms, helping to take care of the yard, doing homework, and taking care of their own toys and property as well as taking care of other people’s property.

 Note there is no classes on Nov. 26 & 27- Happy Thanksgiving-
