ROAR Friday

Respect for those who help others

Today is Patriot Day, a national day of service and remembrance when Americans honor helpers — firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and neighbors who take care of each other. Our ROAR value is RESPECTFUL, and our house is Amistad, the House of Friendship.

Today is a day when our country says thank you to helpers — firefighters, police officers, doctors, and nurses who keep us safe. Being Respectful means treating people with kindness and care.

Let’s talk
  • Who are the helpers that keep you safe? (Think about home, school, and your neighborhood.)
  • How can you be a helper to someone in our class today?

Today is Patriot Day — a National Day of Service and Remembrance. On this day in 2001, our country faced a very difficult moment, and people responded by helping one another. Firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and ordinary neighbors ran toward danger to help strangers. Each year we honor them by serving others.

Let’s talk
  • Why do you think our country chose to remember this day by serving others rather than only by feeling sad?
  • What does it mean to show respect to people who serve our community?
