Respect is Not Conditional

The messages at the morning launch this month are all on the topic of respect.  "Be Respectful" is one of the school-wide expectations at Rosemary and these days Mr. Schmaedick is reminding us that we respect not only what we value, but we respect all people and all things.  Respect is not conditional!  At Rosemary we don't say, "I will respect you if . . ."  We don't only respect our friends.  We don't only respect people we know.  We don't only respect those who treat us right.  We respect everyone!

Respectful means that I don't fight!  I treat all people and all things right!
