In October, Be A Senator Club is focusing on the importance of Respect. Senators show how to respect others by thinking before they speak and pausing before they act. This week, before you do or say something, ask yourself, “Would I want this done to me?” If the answer is no, then don’t do it. Thank you for being a respectful Senator!
