Kindergarten, Angelo Cerimele: "I respect my friends and help them."Grade 1, Connor Penberth: "I show respect and work toward telling the truth and bringing peace."Grade 2, Angelo Greek: "I respect my friends and treat everyone the same. I wait and listen to what they say and don't judge them."Grade 3, Ethan Gardiner: "I accept others for who they are even if we don't have the same ideas. I don't let differences get in the way of friendships."Grade 4, Sierra Bauer: "I don't tease or give up easily. When I lose I don't get angry. Instead, I congratulate the winner."Grade 5, Stephen Puza: "I try not to make fun of others, especially physically and mentally challenged people. I am respectful of others even if I don't agree with them. Life is hard sometimes, but a little tolerance makes it a lot easier."Grade 6, Colin Rehnert: "I was tolerant in class when Mr. Dowd was doing something important and toward friends when they were busy."Grade 7, Zachary Trubilla: "I have a high tolerance level. I am pretty fair when someone has a different opinion than me."Grade 8, Brayden Webb: "I am able to put up with aggravating situations in a peaceful manner."
