Stand at attention during the National Anthem and Alma Mater. No cell phones. No laughter.

Everyone wants the best seat they can get- try to accommodate all who want to be involved.

During performances, remain in your seat until an intermission or breaks between acts.

Turn cell phones off- just disconnect and enjoy being in the moment.

Stay positive in your enthusiasm.

will respect you.” -Lao-Tzu

RESPECT: Questions for discussion

In what ways do you feel West could work on respecting one another?

Why is it that we sometimes do not show respect for others?

Do you feel respected by your peers? Your teachers? Your parents?

Is respect something that is naturally given to others, or should we have to earn it?
