Respect of self is an important quality. It is very difficult to respect others if you have no regard or respect of one's on own being. This is important in school and throughout our extra curricular activities.
Saturday is Super Soccer Saturday at South. It is a full day of soccer --- all the teams for both boys and girls teams. Lots of running and screaming and excitement with two communities that have a long and rich tradition of rivalry and competition.
There have been incidents over the years that would suggest that players, fans and alumni from both schools have not understood the concept of respect and fair play. Some things were just plain silly and others were harmful and destructive. You usually have no problem determining who is the fool because of his/her actions.
Let's have a great Saturday of fun and fine competition. Please discuss within your family what is cheering and what is rude and obnoxious, Respect is earned even for one's self. And it is one's actions that really makes the call.
Regretfully there will be those few - who probably come from far away and do not understand that certain behaviors belong elsewhere. We need to set the example and display examples that are positive. Those who might spoil your fun will be removed and asked not to return.
Bring lots of rain gear. Lots like fall storm times today and tomorrow. Let's have a great day.
