"Flying the flag of the United States of America, Old Glory"

The ROAR Show School Assembly Program would like to wish the United States a Happy Birthday on the 4th of July, 2011.

The ROAR Show is an enrichment, motivational, school show that teaches elementary school children about respecting others and acting responsibly. Respect doesn't end with people but should also include our country. By flying our flag on national holidays we can show respect to the United States and the people who have served for us.

As a reminder, from Al The Respect Guy, if you are going to fly the flag after sunset, it should be lit.

Someone once said that a little respect goes a long way. I believe that self respect goes with you a lifetime.

How do you teach elementary level school children the importance of self respect? There are several, examples discussed and shared in The ROAR Show School Assembly Program.

Unlikely Friendships: 50 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom

By: Jennifer Holland

Friendships begin with similar interests, out of respect and sometimes need. I found this article in the June 26th, 2011 issue of Parade Magazine about most unusual friendships called "Best Friends Forever" by Joanne Kaufman. Ms. Kaufman writes about conservation biologist Jennifer Holland and her book Unlikely Friendships. Ms. Holland writes about extraordinary bonds between animals of different species. To see more photos of unusual best friends in the animal kingdom go to www.Parade.com/aminals. I think you'll like it.

When students respect themselves they tend to respect others and achieve higher levels in academics, social skills and character.

The ROAR Show “Respect Others and Act Responsibly” is an enrichment school assembly program geared for children in grades 2 through 5.
