Using Your Manners

   In the morning, everyone walks to school, arrives on a bus, or is driven to school by their parents. When we exit our vehicles, the PE coaches help us get out and tell us, "Good Morning." Many people just walk right by. Its not only rude, but it could be hurtful. Its like when you tell someone, "Hi" and they just walk away!

Here's what you can do. Every time someone helps you out, go ahead and thank them. Every time someone says good morning, reply. Every time someone asks how you're doing, ask them how they're doing. These small acts of kindness can really light up someone's day. Marcus and I have been using our manners ever since we realized this issue, and everyone who we talked to ended up with a smile.

Respecting Others

   One of the issues Marcus and I noticed were that people such as members of our school staff were not given the proper respect they deserved. This was a big problem, especially since most of our staff members worked very hard and did a lot for us. So, I came up with this idea!

Since the staff members are overlooked, how about we give them love and attention? Make a card for them thanking them for all that they do and telling them they are amazing. This simple act is very thoughtful, and it will definitely make the person smile. Hope this helps!
