lake placid acts with respect always

During the Act With Respect Always presentation to our students last fall, Coach Johns mentioned Jay Asher’s book Thirteen Reasons Why as an example of how we can never know really what’s going on in another person’s life, and thus the need to treat each person with kindness and respect.

After the presentation, all twelve of our library copies of the book began circulating like crazy! I had seen Jay speak at a school library conference back in April and thought how wonderful it would be for our students to meet the author of this influential book. A quick email exchange later, and a visit was scheduled.

We are so grateful for this opportunity to extend Coach Johns’ message to our students.
