on the lookout for students that are showing respect everyday in order to nominate them for September’s PRIDE

prepared for class, are you respecting others by listening and not making fun or saying mean things? In the
words of Clint Eastwood, Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self discipline. When you
have both firmly under your belt, that is real power. Respect, you must give it to get it.

Word of the Month is RESPECT. Being respectful is one of the key ingredients to being the best person you
can be. To learn more about respect, start by checking out some of the great respect quotations
“Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others
even as we respect ourselves.” – U. Thant
“Never judge someone by the way he looks or a book by the way it’s covered; for inside those tattered pages,
there’s a lot to be discovered.” – Stephen Cosgrove
“Leave everything a bit better than you found it.” Unknown
These are a few quotes to think about as you go about your day. Remember, it is Lend a Hand Day. What can
you do to make Heritage the best place it can be?
Here is a challenge for you Huskies. Find a quote or better yet, write an original quote that fits into Heritage
