Being in a bad mood is not a license to be unkind. Being sensitive is not an excuse for being abusive. Respect is a social responsibility. Treating it as optional reveals a lack of concern for others. A mark of character is maintaining civility when things don’t go your way.

Happy Veteran’s Day to my dad and all the veterans of Newville Elementary families. #NewvilleCARES #BSSDProud
